Grain Belt zip mystery

#1

Post by Pbama »

Always try to acquire Grain Belt zips when I see them become available and was curious if anybody else had a Grain Belt zip with some sort of code which is embossed, stamped or branded into the can’s label? Any idea if this is commom and what does it mean? I added pics of same can in the book (doesn’t have a stamped code) for reference. Thanks!

The "Premium" is a sleeper to say the least. That's one I have never been able to acquire.

Thanks for thread Eric. Nothing definitive so stamped #’s are still a mystery! These #’s appear to be from factory vs retailer as they are like embossed/imprinted.

@Leon Of course I'm looking for an A1+, but that may be one of the cleaner one's I've seen for sale.

I kinda figured a little rough for you. But it would be cheap compared to a mint 1+ tab intact bottom opened. Save yourself some money & upgrade later :mrgreen:
