Would this make it in a "Genuine" holder?

I hope you have a strong stomach. I bought this (as is) many years ago from a friend who decided to take it out of its holder for an upgrade.
He decided to use his radial arm saw.....
It got caught in the saw teeth and flew across the room...
It is (was) an 1879 O...
I bought it for $10...
He wouldn't tell me how much HE paid for it...

Tools Explained
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat
Metal bar stock out of your hands so
That it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room,
Denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the
Corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the
Workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and
Hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say,
'Oh sh -- '
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their
Holes until you die of old age.
SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of
Blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor
Touch-up jobs into major
Refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board
Principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable
Motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more
Dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt
Heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer
Intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable
Objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside
The wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood
Projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground
After you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle
Firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to
Cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into
The trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the
Outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of
Everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids
Or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on
Your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out
Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to
Convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering
Your palms.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or
Bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is
Used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts
Adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard
Cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on
Contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles,
Collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts.
Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
DAMN-IT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage
While yelling 'DAMN-IT' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most
Often, the next tool that you will need.

<< <i>Nice toning. Perfect for ebay as "Gorgeous, toned gem. Minor edge ding and planchet flaw." >>
I would go one better, and say that your camera is broken so you were not able to photograph the coin. Then tell the buyer there is a no return policy!

<< <i>Why do the interior shards look toned instead of white? >>
one explanation could be that the OP bought it years ago and it has
had time to tone. This damage did not happen last week.
