Post A Coin Whose Pedigree Adds Nothing To The Value!!

Hey, this could be kind of fun.

Show us a coin you own which has a pedigree
listed on the slab, but it adds not a brass farthing
to the value of the coin inside.

You know, the Bensons, and Omaha Bank Hoards
of the world. There are others, I'm sure.

Show'em!!

I was looking for my madmarty pedigreed weenie coin, but all I could find was a Cam Kiefer autographed sample slab. Does that count?

fc · June 30, 2007 12:35AM

there is only a handful of pedigrees that are worth reading.
the one above is just funny. unknown pedigree, to me, with a butt
ugly coin that will not sell because the owner is buried in it (reserve).

What, no weenie coins yet?

Jules Reiver Collection

i guess i thought people liked that collection and to this day
are willing to pay a bit more. i guess i am wrong :-)

Maybe I'm wrong in assuming that it wouldn't add any value.

That would be OK at selling time.

I sold off my only useless pedigree, a Richmond proof indian cent.

RYK · June 30, 2007 1:16AM

Oooh! I forgot about Richmond, I could not wait to get my coin of its holder:

mgoodm3 · June 30, 2007 1:18AM

I guess I do have a couple Mad Marty weenie coins, but those are way cooler than the Richmond pedigree.

Poor nothing.

I sell the chafe and keep the wheat.

Swampboy · June 30, 2007 3:38AM

I have a Omaha Bank Hoard MS66RD 39 Lincoln in my Registry Set.

I brought it home from a coin show Despite its pedigree.
Hey, it's a Great looking 66.

Shamika · June 30, 2007 3:45AM

I think most pedigree's add nothing to a coins value.

I don't have a pic, but I once purchased a Hard Times Token pedigreed to the Garrett collection. I paid $20 for it, about what it was worth. I later looked up my coin and saw that it went for $100 in the auction, back in 1980.

binions are overrated.

Swampboy · June 30, 2007 5:04AM

LeeG,
That '39 67RD looks terrific.
Are those carbon spots or marks on the holder?

itsnotjustme · June 30, 2007 5:10AM

I have a common date Bass Morgan, MS62. Ugly sucker.... but I think Bass does ad a little to the value.

Then I have many 20th century coins with my Pedigree "JORDAN" on them

I think most people would agree that the Jules Reiver Collection pedigree does add value to a coin. He certainly made an impact in his specialty areas.

CarlWohlforth · June 30, 2007 6:15AM

Here is one that adds to my valuation of the coin. However it adds nothing to most other people's perception of the coin's value.

Dollarhunter · June 30, 2007 6:56AM

Bought it for 30.00 when I was in Vegas last year.

Barndog · June 30, 2007 8:22AM

I'm quite sure the cladiator pedigree creates "negative equity"

the coin is no longer in the slab.

MisterBungle · June 30, 2007 11:11AM

Don't stop now!!

There has to be more out there!!

I just know it!!

yeah, a Reiver pedigree will certainly get you some extra bucks come selling time!

Doogy · June 30, 2007 3:12PM

how 'bout any of the PCGS/NGC 'First Strike' crap? maybe that 'pedigree' should be changed to:

'Flipper's Delight'

FYI:

(From Coin Rarities Online)

The Karl Stecher Sr. Story

All we know about Karl Stecher Sr. (1891-1965) comes to us from the Heritage Auction catalog #432 where his collection was sold. We quote from the front of that catalog as follows:

"All of the coins in Mr. Stecher's collection were acquired between 1933 and 1941, and remained in their original envelopes until some were submitted to PCGS in October, 2006.

Parts of his collection were purchased from major coin dealers (of that time). Additionally, many of the gold coins offered in this auction were obtained through marvelous circumstances that existed for Mr. Stecher while he was a law professor at Emory University in Macon, Georgia from 1928-1934. President Franklin Roosevelt's Emergency Banking Relief Act (Order #6102, March 9, 1933) ordered the public to turn in their 'non-collector' gold coins; naturally many rare coins suffered a similar fate. Mrs. Stecher's uncle, Thomas W. Smith, had enjoyed a lifelong banking career starting in 1909 that culminated in responsibility for the Atlanta 'gold room' of the Citizen's and Southern Bank. All of the gold that flowed through the bank's branches in response to President Roosevelt's decree passed through Mr. Smith's office, and Mr. Stecher was allowed to select numismatic items from the river of gold, paying face value for numismatic coins he selected."

I would be interested in knowing which pedigrees are the *most* valuable.

saintguru · July 1, 2007 10:57PM

<< I would be interested in knowing which pedigrees are the *most* valuable. >>

"BRAHIN", "ELIASBERG", "NORWEB" ;-)

morganbarber · July 1, 2007 11:48PM

I would pay a premium for an Eliasberg coin. There are several other pedigrees that I wouldn't mind, but wouldn't pay extra for. Most just annoy me. Alright, I confess, I'd kill for a "Hepkitty" coin.

SportsModerator · July 1, 2007 11:59PM

As usual, I'm late to the show, but I must jump in here and go along with the general consensus

Why don't you concentrate on the cardboard that you're more familar with, Codpiece?
