I'm happy this coin turned out to be authentic and graded so high. Your grandfather had an excellent eye.
I wasn't qualified to judge this coin from the start, but I was watching from the sidelines rooting for you.

Super coin - great condition and grade, glad it came back authentic for you. Your Grandpa had a good eye for coins! Thank you for sharing this rarity with us on CCF! Much appreciated, as this is the kind of coin we just don't get to see in hand for most of us.

Unbelievable, I'm glad it worked out so well! Can you imagine buying this coin based off the first pictures the OP posted vs. the PCGS pictures. Night and day...
