My
prizewinning pedigree: Ch. Kenmare Prince of Blarney. He will not stay still for a photo.
Nice coin. May we see another to help folks skip my post?
Just 3 owners over the past 135 years!
This is my only pedigree.

I don't put a lot of stock in "Pedigrees" but these are in my collection:
On this one, the label says "Simpson", but what matters to me is that it's ex-RYK:
I am certain that some notable, famous individual, at some time, handled one or more of my coins.
And Bob Dylan once bought me a drink..... Cheers, RickO

Have a relatively cheap Eliasberg just for kicks, and the only Newman GSA dollar from his sale. I thought that would be a fun addition to my GSA's. That one is a common date in MS64. Pretty stupid premium paid for a very common coin.
The only one that I can think of:
1825
O-107
NGC
AU-50
Jules Reiver Collection.

no rare coins but there are only 32 people in the USA that have my last name...does that count as a pedigree?
nice coin all
I have a counterstamped that was owned by Gregory Brunk.
Plus, all MY coins were owned by ME. Now all I gave to do is get famous (or infamous).
I love the provenance as a connection to the history of the coin. I really enjoy going through my library looking for examples I own. I’ve had some good luck in the past.
Here is another ex Jimmy Hayes and Ed Mika’s:
