Yeah, that's huge...I'm aspiring to own a $20000 coin some day, but I doubt I'll ever get to 1 million!

Amida: not a strawberry leaf but probably the finest specimen known of our avatars - could possibly be the coin CCF got the avatar picture from

That coin is so mint fresh it doesn't look right. I've never seen one with that much detail. Wow.

Amazing! While the CAC sticker makes total sense, it looks so cheap on that slab.

I might have to peel it off. It does look shabby.

Hold for 5 years, give it back to Heritage, see what you realize :)
Where would you store this coin! I would be too afraid to own it!

Yep it was an Elliasberg coin it was graded MS64 in that auction. Sometime between May 1996 and July 2004, this specimen was certified MS65 Brown PCGS, and today it remains in a green-label holder.

Copied from
HA description;

Just three examples of S-4 exist with claims to Mint State status. The finest piece is sometimes called "The Coin" and is the example illustrated in Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins. "The Coin" is certified Specimen 67 Brown PCGS and carries a provenance back to Joseph Mickley who may have received it from the Mint Cabinet in trade for other numismatic items. Dr. Sheldon called the Mickley piece "possibly the most perfect Chain cent in existence."
The second finest example is the Parmelee coin that was illustrated in the 1991 Noyes Photo book. Although later opinions are lower, Dr. Sheldon called the Parmelee cent MS65 in the 1949 publication of Early American Cents.
The Eliasberg 1793 S-4 With Periods Chain cent, the second finest PCGS certified example, is considered the third finest of the S-4 cents, and carries a provenance back to 1864. In Early American Cents, Sheldon discussed the "recent sales" of examples that traded hands in the 1940s. This piece appeared in B. Max Mehl's sale of the Atwater Collection in 1946 but was overlooked by Sheldon in that discussion.
