<< <i>Pedigree is nothing but hype for the seller to get more money.
I had a guy come up to my table with some pedigree coins - I offered the same I would for any other. He said "but these are pedigree and worth 20% more." I told him "maybe you should go find someone who will pay that. Show me in your grey sheet where CDN bid is more for a pedigree coin." He walked off in a huff. Don't pay more money for a coin because of pedigree, buy the coin not the hype. If there is really a basis for pedigree coins being worth more then why aren't they in the grey-sheet? >>
<< <i>Very neat. I wonder if it is true that the half dimes or dimes in that one Beverly Hillbillies episode were his. I would think that would be the case >>
I don'tknow if they were his but the coins shown in the episode was a complete set of barber dimes including the 1894-S. in fact they single it out and mr Drysdale mentions how much the collector paid for it. (Jed tells Drysdale that he got took, a dime is only worth ten cents.)

Most blanket statements are absolute nonsense.

What coins were they and what was the pedigree?
Of course, some non pedigreed coins are too.
