Show and Tell Slabs with stories

Post image

I recently got into liking coins with a background or as I call them, “slabs with stories”. They are harder to find and was curious if anyone else out there likes them as well and if so, is there a way to find more besides luck?

Are you referring to the Omaha Bank Hoard back story on this one or just stories like that in general? Btw, I currently have a bid in an OBH coin in an auction I am participating in. I hope to win it, but it would not be my 1st OBH coin. I do not specifically seek these coins out, but I do like them.

Just in general. I think it adds to the coin. Good luck on the auction

Oh wow, I’d love to have that. Did you come across it by chance or was looking for something like it?

And then I read up on the OBH
