I believe they started a few years ago. There is a group of people that collect and pay larger premium for scarce vintage bars/rounds. So it makes...
I see what you see (I think :p). It has a pleasant look.
Getting a gold bean is big! Congrats!
Very cool coin and a nice write-up! The video definitely helps show the true beauty of the coin! I had the same opinion. It could come back...

I was thinking MS 63 before the reveal...not Ed Wood here :p
