Last February, I asked Bill Murray to fly from Charleston to Austin. I had a great idea and Bill has always had issues with my great ideas. “Is this a well-adjusted meritas idea or is drunk John calling from a phone booth in Margaritaville?”
The idea was that the coin industry hadn’t iterated itself in 30 years. How many lunar landing anniversaries or dead presidents can they force on us? I had the idea to put modern day faces on proof coins. It would disrupt the entire coin industry if it worked. And, hey, if it didn’t Bill would just text me “I told you so at 3am.” Very low downside – I get those text all the time from Bill.
Luckily, Chive Rare Coins are now the most sought-after coins in the world.
