Here are some additional pictures of the coin and the holder that it's enclosed within. There have been some question as to whether or not it is a actual air-tite. I don't have any personal experience with them so figure pictures may clear this up. What do you think?
Since this is a Piedfort-style coin, I doubt anyone had a holder ready to go off the shelf. I am sure the Mint had to contract with someone to create and produce these holders from scratch.
That holder has the same look as the 1999 SBA Proof holder, it even has that weird offset on one side. For the record, my 1999 SBA holder was closed tight with no gap. It was real fun getting it to pop open; I was afraid my SBA would fly away!
