<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1946663, member: 36864&quot;]I&#039;ve told this story before, but while working for a New Orleans based dealer, I helped in placing the Olsen specimen (aka the King Farouk, Hawaii Five-O specimen). This deal was ongoing when I started working there, but I had the job of delivering it to the client. We as coin collectors know all about this coin, but you would be surprised to know how famous this coin is outside of the collector market. One passenger on the plane that I was on overheard me explaining what the coin was to one of the security guys (I guess I looked suspicious with no bags getting on a plane and traveling across the country). The passenger that overheard me was sitting next to me on the plane and asked about the coin. Before you knew it, the coin was being passed around the cabin and I was telling the story of the coin like I was giving a lecture at an ANA show. It remains by biggest coin nerd moment and represents the second most valuable thing that I have ever had in my pants <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
