pedigree - do you want someone else's name on your coins?

Personally I think it subtracts from the value if you are selling, but cool as heck if you are keeping them yourself. Can you "unpedigree" or "repedigree" coins, or would you have to break them out and resubmit them?

My wife wants our name on the Jeffs. It was part of the whole deal. I can spend our money this way, but I have to get our name in the book and on the coins. I keep holding off thinking I might be able to upgrade something. Pretty soon though I'm going to have to send them in.
In God We Trust.... all others pay in Gold and Silver!
Especially if you know the person and especially if it is from
a nice collection.
I'm working right now to pick out which of the Wm Walser
half dollars I want to add to my collection

p.s. I don't see how it could subtract more than $5 (the cost of
reholdering) from the value of the coin

Those Samorajski pedigeed pieces are almost impossible to find, and when found trade at a hefty premium!! At the end of the day, most pedigrees are really for the collector who wants to see his or her name on the holder.

I've debated this myself.Being the owner of the first Early Date Lincoln Proof to receive the Cameo designation makes it even tougher.I'd like to be remembered for that.I just don't know.

Doesn't seem like it hurt Lazeroo or Walser in their recent sales; apparently having Laz' and Bill's names on those slabs didn't bother many buyers...
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Then just get my own name put on it

The Norwebs would be displeased to know that today many of their coins have their names on them as they were very private people. However, in honoring those such as the Norwebs who collected coins before us and to create a time line for the coin as to where it has been, the establishment of a pedigreed name on the holder adds to its aura of authenticity and adds a lot of history to the coin besides just when it was minted and how well preserved it is.
I too would feel funny about having my name on a coin holder as well but then when I am dead, will I feel differently? I don't want to know the answer to that just yet!

I think it is nice to have a pedigree on the holder. As a collector, its nice to look at a coin that you own and know that that coin was once in one of the finest sets in the world. And if the nostalgia doesnt do anything for you... the resale premium is pretty nice.
