It certainly looks nice in that secure holder.

Congrats! Looks nicer than the original pictures. Was it conserved?

Glad to see this came back positive. It sure looked good to me, but not being qualified to give an opinion therefore I didn't Too many people jump up and say Fake to fast. Great Coin!

WOW!!! So glad this one was real! I don't have one, not sure I would want this one, but what a fantastic, feel good story! Yes, I have been collecting for a very long time, but someone asked a question that I wanted to ask...do they do anything to conserve the coin at PCGS? Meaning, it has to have been in a lot of bare hands, so do they do a mild cleaning of any kind before they seal it?

I never ended up purchasing since it's not really something I collect. The dealer bought it and is in their display case for sale.
