Wild! Didn't Jeff have a thread up about these holders? Pretty cool! The coin looks fabulous!

Oh, yeah!

I found it by reading This thread.

 

The bonus is the PCGS holder is absolutely flawless having been wrapped in a statin custom holder during its lifetime.

I remember the thread well. I thought for sure Jeff was going to break down and bid on it. I hope he’s not too disappointed that he didn’t.

Okay, but I shot these quickly under no lighting (just shade coming in from a window) so the luster isn't showing:

Based on those photos, I would say the coin is undergraded at AU-55, and probably derserves an AU-58. That said, by today's grading standards I wouldn't be surprised to see this coin reholder at MS-62. Of course I know being in the holder that it's in, it will likely not be cracked out at all! Nice pick up Pat!
