^ Love those Classic Heads! I totally overlooked the "D" mintmark on the first one at first glance. Wow!
Must've been quite the collection. I was unfamiliar with the pedigree when I bought the coin in the OP. Neither did I buy it because of the mint error, though that's an interesting bonus. I just needed a $5 Indian type coin, and 1911 was the year my paternal grandmother was born.
What do y'all think was the foreign object that caused that reverse strikethrough on my coin? Fabric? A piece of wood? Interesting.

Fancy label and box, but I bought it with a small premium when gold was $1k lower.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Just the one.

Just one for me also….
I know, losing battle but: *provenance.
I was an active participant in the Fairmont auctions of Liberty eagles. A couple examples, with and without Motto:

My only one.
They're wrong too. Like I said, it's a losing battle.
Only one, but it’s a big one:
I’m yielding to @Morgan White on the provenance/pedigree discussion - just seems right to me.

Guess it’s kinda like the way so many folks refer to the US cent as a “penny”. Might be technically incorrect, but it seems like almost everybody does it anyway.

The lineage context provided here (“the brand's lineage as a leather goods company”) would tend to make me think it’s acceptable to use pedigree
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lineage
For example:
US Mint
Stickney
Clapp
Eliasberg
would qualify as a lineage (descent in a line from a common progenitor) and therefore fit exactly the given definition of pedigree
Yes and “provenance” would be place of origin, i.e. US Mint.
I’m glad we are able to put this issue to rest for ever now.
I know, still a losing battle but I'll stay in the fight a bit longer. Pedigree/progenitor is exclusive to biological ancestry. Provenance is the origin of something non-biological.
Progenitor definition from your link above.
It will never be correct to use Pedigree/progenitor for something non-biological. But, I understand no one cares about that distinction anymore, which is what makes it a losing battle.
And yet in the dictionary they use a non biological example. Shrug

They use the "leather goods factory" example for linage, not pedigree/progenitor. Even then it's qualified as a derivative, not the primary meaning.
But, we aren't talking about lineage, we're talking about pedigree, which again is exclusive to biological ancestry.
