<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deefree, post: 2655427, member: 85263&quot;]I don&#039;t want to see anyone dragged through the mud. I think what happened is that expectations were raised and understandably people who had their interest raised didn&#039;t want to be left hanging.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is hard to understand the secrecy in this. That is what inspires the theories, skepticism and even the anger. The OP set the table on all this so he did create the situation. I think people have a reasonable right to expect something when someone inspires their curiosity, especially on a hot topic such as this. I think that is fair to say.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess you&#039;re not going to verify this coin as being the PR66RB found in CoinFacts but I&#039;m pretty convinced that is the proper ID. So with that probably solved, the remaining mystery is the origin story of the coin. I&#039;ve got a feeling we&#039;re not going to hear that part any time soon if ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I have a gut feeling about it that could very well be completely wrong but I&#039;m going to throw it out there anyway since for now we don&#039;t have anything else. My feeling is that the owner already knew it was a genuine VDB proof before it was in the new PR66RB holder. Maybe it was in a holder before and got cracked out or maybe it was part of an old collection. At this point we don&#039;t know. I just have this feeling that its authenticity was already determined when this thread began. That would at least give one possible explanation for the secrecy.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end it is no big deal. It was an interesting story either way. Maybe at some point we will know the actual story. Until then, I&#039;ll just say; &quot;Very nice coin, valuable and attractive. A coin that is great to be the owner of and an important piece of numismatic history to be able to hold in your hand and appreciate.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
