I'm not real sure why I bought this but it appears there has been a recent hoard of them so it might be a good time to buy one while they are...
Ardatrion's answer covers it well.
I was amazed that anyone would post that phone picture of the coin in a holder but I am absolutely blown away at the follow up posting by the same...
