Is it possible to steal something that is literally nothing?

I always wondered that.  Where will the Fed keep this 4.5 Billion Nothings?

Latest of You can Run but...................

Ilya Lichtenstein, 34, and his wife, Heather Morgan, 31, of New York City, were arrested Tuesday morning in Manhattan for an alleged conspiracy to launder cryptocurrency that was stolen during the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, a virtual currency exchange, presently valued at approximately $4.5 billion. 

Thus far, law enforcement has seized over $3.6 billion in cryptocurrency linked to that

I didn't know he left.  What happened?

That was dirty the guy wouldnt let you check it out.

People here think coin counterfeiters are good.  Counterfeiting Civil War items is a very big business and the crooks are really good.  

Have a look at www.northeastnumismatics.com  They have a lot of tokens and are reasonably priced.

The amazing quality on some is off da hook. 

Agreed.  There were some CW tokens that I wanted that were in absolutely beautiful condition.  Price very high.  I used to collect Civil War items.  Paper, weapons and left over ammo.  Back in the 60's I bought a Union Remington 1863 Zouave Rifle.  It looked good on the exterior but something about it was off so I asked the guy if I could take the barrel off.  Nope.  Take it or leave it.  Paid a Grand for it and when I got it home I took the barrel off.  Turned it over - 'Made in Italy' was all it said.  No returns and no refunds.  Dearie Me.  One born every minute

Q.A. makes sense. 

On 2/6/2022 at 5:35 PM, tj96 said:

Correct.

Okay.  I am no professional coin expert but my take is:  It was done at the Mint.  Just a guess but if you say it was in OGP until you took it out what else could it be?  BTW:  that's the oddest* mark on a coin I've seen.

*Is this a word?

That's very strange.  BUT....it's never been out of the Proof Set case right?

As hard as I tried to mess up my Submission, ignore the TPG's email to me and stammer and stutter through the phone call to Customer Service the TPG (ATS) got it 100% perfect  You can trust the Graders et al at NGC to do the best they can for you.

The one is a Troll in Training.  Graduation Day:  1 April 2022.

Dings and such aside it is a very nice coin.  

Very nice Proof.  

Is this a test?

Your site looks, and acts, very professional.  Well done.

Maybe with a desiccant system or packs?

Right.  Dessicant packs come in all sizes.  Really like them and they do a good job.
