Thank you for your help and information everybody and please don't think I disagree with you or have no respect for your opinions. When I found the auction it just seemed like something special and I thought it had potential. I know that the coin is cleaned or at least wiped. I thought it was a specimen cause it just seemed to have a better strike and fuller high areas than the pl Coins so it only made sense to me that it was an original cased specimen dollar. I am glad I asked here because you guys definitely know what you are talking about. Knowing a little history about the case and knowing that it is in fact as old as the coin is cool and I am glad I have a lead as to where it came from.
O did buy the coin and I know the coin will probably look bad under the colors but I am happy. The case and its history alone were worth it.
Feel free to call me Will.

I have re-read everything on this post so where did we come up to believe that this case is original to a speciman 1964 dollar coin, I can find nothing in my books to prove this ever existed. ?

That's why I asked, I could find no info and was hoping it was since I have found record of an unlisted full set from 1964 on icollector.

I'm just going to say this because I feel I must. It's one thing to buy a coin on ebay essentially sight unseen based on blurry far off pics, gambling that it's worth or better the price --- but it's entirely another to blindly believe it must be so before even having in hand what's been bought, while totally ignoring various red flags. It's the later type of people who scammers prey upon....... |

It is! Thank you t1, I love ya! I can't believe I missed that result, I entered 40+ searches into icollector and could not find a thing. An update, the coin came, the cleaning is not very noticable, the coin looks nice BUT the stickers on the case damage the box when you peel them, so I left them on.

the coin is on its way to ICCS, the guys down at my LCS say this coin is likely a specimen aswell..i expect the coin to come back as an SP-58-60 cleaned.

well, I am just so confused with ICCS  i received the results today. I know there are people who will say "i told you so, this coin is not a specimen" but I am just shocked with the grade. not only did all people who saw it in person say it was a specimen, but we all also agreed that it was cleaned which was evidenced by a lot of hairlines....the coin came back as a PL-64  . I dont know what to think about ICCS anymore..do they even look at the coin before holdering it?  Feel free to call me Will.

It means most here already know my opinion... I am waiting to hear the others...
As I told you earlier, show the coin to Sandy Campbell at Coin Expo.
