Not a whole lot of meat to the story, but I was surprised when I saw this article today in a daily 'brief' email I get...

I was able to see one up close at the 2014 ANA convention. Pretty cool. They struck some novodels at the convention as well.
Truly a piece of history... an amazing gold coin... would love to hold that one in my hand...Cheers, RickO
This is a very historical piece. But $15 million?

Holding this coin in my hand and having my daughter hold it in her hand...and taking some cell phone pics was a really neat experience I will never forget. This was at Winter FUN 2014.
It did not sell for anywhere close to what it should have in my view. Maybe the timing was just a bit off?

I remember reading Walter Breen's book; he was so disappointed to discover that the coin in the movie was a replica.

If the new owner of this piece would care to contact me after the sale, I have an artifact concerning it I would be happy to give to you.
