Get Your Binion $10,000 Notes!! We noted an advertisement on the inside front cover of the August Numismatist that certainly caught our eye! For those with some loose change laying around, there is a new round of Binion notes being advertised. For those not aware of these notes, they were part of the Million Dollar display at the Binion Casino in Las Vegas. According to the ad, "each note has been lovingly conserved - like a piece of fine art". They have been graded by PCGS and certified with a distinctive red label! Grades are "Apparent Choice New-63", "Apparent Very Choice New-64" and "Apparent Gem New-65". Conserved - perhaps processed and improved?? Distinctive red label - that is a flag by the grading service to note that the note HAS BEEN worked on or fixed in some way. It is a warning - not a plus! "Apparent Chice New-63" - please describe this grade to me!!? I do not recall seeing this grade explained or used by other dealers/collectors. The price is not stated but should you inquire, please let me know! I'm searching the car floor and behind the sofa cushions and I'll see if I can come up with enough!!!
