Questions for owners of “beaned” coins

KollectorKing · May 12, 2019 1:24PM

Where & how do you store your CAC coins to ensure

The CAC sticker stays permanently w/the slab?
The bean doesn’t get damaged?
How long will the bean stay adhere to the slab?
If the bean is accidentally or intentionally damaged will JA replace it, at what cost if any?

No differently than any other coin in my collection
See the answer to 1
No idea, none have ever fallen off to date
I think the cost is $3 plus shipping as long as the holder is undamaged and the cert # is the same.

1: Clear fingernail polish.
2: Each slab wrapped in tinfoil and duct taped to the back of my safe.
3: Should stay on until there is another earthquake.
4: If it is accidentally damaged I have homeowners insurance that will cover re-beaning my slab.
If it is intentionally damaged I take it to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store.

I keep my slabs in a temperature and humidity controlled "CAC-approved" bunker. There is a large, green sticker on the door, which JAapplied when he visited to give approval to the facility.
Human hands are not permitted to touch the slab once it returns from NJ. The slabs are encased in a proprietary slab holder that has been approved by JA for this very reason.
Somewhere between 3 and 10 million years, if stored in the CAC-approved bunker. If the coin gets into the hands of a crackout dealer, somewhere between 3 and 10 nanoseconds.
The CAC has a VIP service whereby a team of sticker experts can be deployed to your home or the place of your business and rectify the situation in under 30 minutes (or your pizza is free). All you have to do is call out "Code 2319", and the team will be deployed, as seen in this demo video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cUFJ1yVhJ6g

Green beans are forever....unless attacked by acetone....or goo gone.... Cheers, RickO

I peel them off so all my slabs look the same.
In the future, somebody could look the numbers up and see which ones have beans.
If anyone cares.

Just keep them with the other coins in my collection. They use pretty strong glue.

I have my own stooper secret stash of green bean stickers. If any fall or rub off, I just break out the stooperglue, apply a knew one, and she’s as good as knew.

I “new” you had the secret formula

Quality posts over quantity, please

Sticker seems pretty tough

Ive cracked out beaned coins to put in albums for customers, those stickers don't come off that easy. I literally busted the slab to pieces, and the sticker still clinging on to part of the plastic. the green will separate from the sticker base, but not in normal handling .

Just dip your slabs in clear polyester casting resin. The little kiddie stickers will remain almost forever.

Story as I recall was the owner just got the coin in the mail and had to run out to do some errands. Hid it inside his microwave under the glass tray and forgot about it. A unknowing family member defrosted something in the microwave.

Nope this was the microwave damaged slab which occurred a few years ago.

How did the coin fare?

Green or gold : a blue box is adequate.
