What Pedigree Would You Like To Own
Comments

In a previous job I worked as a chauffeur for a limousine service. One of the nights that the ANA WFOM was happening I drove two well known collectors/pedigree-makers…Duckor and Friend. I would be happy to have either of their former coins.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Don't forget Henry W. Beckwith. One of the great collections U.S. large cents.

For my Classic Head sets I like to get coins from The Virginian Collection (D Haynor). Afterall, he wrote the book and stops in here sometimes.

The previous posts nailed most of the great collections and I aspired to have at least one of their coins as originally graded.
In addition, i purchased a great 1798 small 8 dime from the Dr. Harold Bareford collection and the only mint state $1 Liberty gold from the Childs collection which otherwise is primarily known for his proof coins.
I almost forgot that I competed against Gardner and lost on the 1853 W/A 10c graded PCGS/CAC MS-68 tgat he won right after 9-11 in 2001 as I was more concerned about cleaning up and rebuilding NYCity in October 2001 than bidding on coins I then purchased the same dime his estate consigned to Heritage in 2014.

Finest of three known with one residing in a museum. Same dies used for regular issue twenties and lots cheaper than a Proof gold $20.5 -

I don't think Farouk cleaned any of his gold coins.

There is a Pittman coin coming up soon at auction and I thought it might be good to add. Other than Eliasberg, are there any other coins with a pedigree you would like to own?Coins with thoroughbreds on them. That'd be an Arabian stallion and an English mare.

This was the first coin sold in the second Eliasberg Sale in April 1997. The coin was described as AU 58 and realized $2420. CDN Quarterly value was $1450 for an MS 64 in the January 1997 issue. Coin looks much better than the bad photo shown.2 -
I purchased the 20c in 2006 for much less than it sold for in 1997. They must have been hoping to get the coin in a 64 or 65 holder.
Has a nice pedigree: Mumford Collection, New York Coin and Stamp Co. April 9,10, 1896 to J.M. Clapp, Clapp Estate, 1942, to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.0 -

Interesting - did not know that ... I guess he just like picking on copper "Patterns"

Well ... here is the sister piece . Not quite as nice as your 62+ CAC, still nice to own. This one was the Simpson/Bass specimen.

Both of these came from Oliver Jung's collection and represent four great pedigrees IMO..... Pogue was mentored by David Akers so his collection didn't contain too many "dogs". I would add Bass..... Eliasberg....Garrett....Judd and James A. Stack.

I used to have a gold from King Farouk collection. That’s what I like to have.

It would be impossible to track down but according to several sources U.S. Grant spent his final days rubbing a Half Dollar while he told Mark Twain about his life so they could finish his book. Would make an interesting coin to own. James

I have a couple Reiver's in my collection. Of course the ultimate pedigree for me would be the 'ElKevvo' pedigree but time, knowledge, and money (lack of all 3) are going to cut that off at the bud for sure. Other than that Eliasberg would be tops for me in terms of classic pedigrees.

@ElKevvo . That was a great auction both to follow and participate in. Congrats on winning more than 1 coin. James
