Recently I've been doing a lot of organizing and cleaning up of the records for my collection, and I ran across this receipt from Jack Beymer from 22 years ago. When I re-started collecting after a long break, Beymer became my dealer of choice when I decided to start putting together a U.S. type set. This was my first order I made from him from an ad in Coinage magazine.

Jack recently retired so I'll hang onto this receipt though I sold these particular coins 9 or 10 years ago. Also interesting seeing the prices, particularly for the gold coins!

One has to wonder what another twenty years will look like on coin pricing. The gold prices make me want to cry though as I remember buying graded MS64 saints for $450 back then.

Yep, I have a receipt from Beymer in 2002 where I bought a BU Liberty double eagle for $445.

Beymer always priced high, but you never got anything but a choice coin for the grade from him.

Agree 100%, Coinfrog. I never had a purchase from him I was dissatisfied with, even though every coin I bought from him was sight-unseen.
