Lancaster

I bought one die off this auction for $325. I normally collect British coins so this was way, way off the beaten track for me. I bought it because I thought it might prove to be a landmark auction giving collectors an opportunity to obtain important and rare items. Having now had the chance to read round the whole provenance debate I'm starting to feel uneasy. $325 is not a vast sum but it's not pin money either. I'm now in the position of not being really sure of what it is that I've bought. Once I've received it from Heritage I'll have a closer look at it and maybe take it to a few dealers to look at. What I do with it after that remains to be seen.
