Congratulations Larsjan! I'm one of those who read your first post here four years ago. So glad you came to us. It has truly been an amazing journey.

Holy...
larsjan I cannot say how envious and PROUD I am of you. Not only did you push through thick and thin over these past four years, and through some seemingly endless moments of waiting, you acquired a piece of HISTORY!
Reading this thread was a roller coaster. Thank you to all who supported larsjan through his waiting, and I cannot WAIT to see this piece find a rightful place in the history book, maybe, someday, a museum.
Congrats again. If I am even 1% as lucky as you in this hobby, it'd have been worth it :)

Larsjan, Congratulations doesn't really say enough, it is a life changing discovery. I am very happy for you and glad you stuck with it. I wonder if Coin World Magazine will write up on the coin and the back story,it would make a great read as it did here on Coin Community. Mike Diamond is a member here and works for the magazine.

Congratulations on a good ending. Now we will all wait for the end of the auction and the announcement of the final sale amount. I have been watching this topic for 4 years and I am pleased to realize that I, although not much, but participated in this long story.

Wow, seems like every bit a $1 million+ coin. Must feel awesome.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Just found this thread. WOW!
What an amazing ride. 4 years is a long time to get results. Just incredible!
The naysayers just wouldn't let up on this one, but I am happy you kept going.
Congratulations!

In case I win the Mega Millions tonight (  ), does anyone know if the original coin holder stays with the coin when it sells at auction? Was there any other provenance besides that? |

I was going to ask the same question, Larsjan, did you keep the original holder or did you send it out with the coin? I have seen the coin but not the holder.
