Anyone remember the Mike DeFalco coin flips?

Lakesammman

Was prompted recently to look at an ebay auction with a Mike DeFalco coin flip.

Does anyone recall the purpose?? Was it just advertising or was the coin supposed to be PQ?? Are there any with grades or inserts?? Any info would be appreciated.

Looks like a Dave Hall sealed flip but w/o the pre-PCGS insert.

Tim - took over a year to respond but I came across this Mike DeFalco holder in my image archives.
Not the same holder you were asking about but thought you might have some interest.

I think he posted this Oregon on the forum about 10 years ago, probably in a monster toned coin thread
as were common back then. And I remember him saying it's a coin he would never part with, and obviously
it blew us all away. Looks more like a solid holder than a sealed flip, with his company logo.
You may have seen these before but I haven't.

Thanks for posting that - haven't ever seen one before, or forgot about it since it's been 10 years.

Cool looking coin - wonder if it would grade at PCGS?
