Very cool... Congratulations on preserving a rare coin for collectors world wide. I can just imagine someone buying that coin as a reg business strike and eventually somehow it makes it into circulation. Preserving history IMO is what coin collecting is all about.

That's sort of what anyone collecting anything dreams of. Marvelous find.

Someday, I'll find my Action Comics #1 at a flea market for $0.25...

Wouldn't it be really cool if a CCF member won it?

Thanks guys. I hope all of you can experience the pure rush of such a find one day. I'm thinking of maybe flying out for the auction if I have the time but I don't think I will. Should be a good show though! #OnPins&Needles!
