    Hmmmm. I don't think its a sample to be perfectly honest.

    Whats on the flipside?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I'm not sure when or why they were issued but I have a few 2005 1/10 oz AGEs with the same style label.

    I don't either - hence the quotes.

    But it's clearly a promotional giveaway of some sort - just want to know if it was given at a lunch, at the submission table, dropped at dealers tables on the bourse or elsewhere. image

    It's possible that its the result of a bulk submission of some type where coins which didn't meet the desired grade were simply slabbed as BU.

    Again, whats on the flip side? Is there a date such as the SAE above has?

    Doesn't look like a giveaway slab to me, looks like the coins I have seen that were sent in for "BU" grading. Haven't slabs like these been offered on the TV shopping channels?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    If thats the case, then it was slabbed or given out sometime in 2007. Or would that be an incorrect assumption?

    I kinda wonder if this is/was part of a TV promotion - you know the kind - like QVC.
    Could have been sold or given away as an extra.

    I seem to remember some dollar rolls that were graded this way in that timeframe.

    That's what I was thinking. Packaged to sell to the non-collecting general public via TV ads or newspaper/magazine ads.

    Year wasn't the question.

    I was wondering by whom and what for?
