I believe that this was the most recent public sale of the coin (in a different holder) for slightly over $2 million in August of 2021.

See the comments in this thread, especially Roger W. Burdette's comment about the Baker piece, and his correction at the end of the old part.

As I just posted to the old thread:
“It was fun to revisit this thread. And a large part of the reason is that I knew who bought the coin, and was able to view it in hand, shortly after it was removed from its holder. It took me only seconds to come to come to the belief that I was looking at a Satin Proof. And I was surprised that it took a long time to be recognized as such.”

That coin lives rent free in my head. I remember Brian telling me about it the first or second time I met him.
