Default O/T: Carrying a $1.9 million, 1894 Dime on Airplane

Posted By: MVSNYC

interesting story, but sounds like this guy has never transported rare coins before, was too nervous and had it in his pocket for some of the trip?! how about just keeping it in a zero halliburton case for the whole duration?

i also love this:

"That was a worry, because people in flip-flops, T-shirts and grubby jeans do not regularly ride in first class."

obviously that guy does not fly from LA to NYC often...these days, people who fly first class usually look like they are going to the beach.

cool story, but alittle over-hyped by the author, IMO. thanks for sharing, i think most of us can relate to traveling with or transporting very rare & expensive cards...

my personal favorite was hoping in & out of cabs with a T206 PSA 10 a few months back.
