Interesting submission and story....

COINS MAKE CENTSCOINS MAKE CENTS Posts: 1,859 ✭✭✭✭✭

Customer calls me and tells me he has a bunch of fresh graded slabs he wants to sell. He is normally a pretty serious collector so I was quite excited to see what he was going to offer me.

Well I was very surprised when he pulled out these..... I just ask why. He said there was jim beam and beer involved and left it at that. We had a good laugh. Would love to know the whole story.

So for your viewing pleasure here is a great group of very high dollar coins in fresh graded PCGS plastic (not)

    Whew. I've got some Jim Beam stories myself, but nowhere near that level of crazy! :D

    Someone has too much free time and/or money. With the whiskey I wonder if there was a wager involved with a friend.

    It’s gotta be the Jim Beam. A good bourbon and maybe he would have made better decisions.

    I kinda like the woodgrain toning on the 73 Lincoln.

    Looks like our hosts missed the boat. They left off the attribution,"Jim Beam Collection."

    Probably a few Everyman set collectors will be contacting you............... :)

    This is why there should be a breathalyzer interlock on the submission form.

    On the bright side the insurance cost was probably low….

    Some guy name Jim hit him over the head with a Beam.

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    Not if they declared a $500k value

    I had the same thought. Those AU 58s might be quite difficult to find in slabs for those trying to do a set in that grade.
