The LCS here, sold some Ted Williams collection 1oz gold eagles.
For the same price as other gold eagles.
To me .. that is just a 1942 circulated nickel

Proving my ignorance... Who the heck is Ted Williams, and why would I care that it's his coin?

Take it out of the slab and you have a coin worth about 25¢.
I see no extra value in coins attributed to some renown individual.
And that includes Eliasberg and other of his ilk.

I emailed the seller and he told me since Ted owned this coin it makes it worth this price. LOL(me)

"but it's from the ted williams collection!1!!1!"... my guess is that the seller is clueless about coins and looked up "ted Williams coins" and saw gold coins from his collection going for about the same price?

I once bid on a coin from the collection of President John Quincy Adams. I didn't win and it wasn't any where near this ridiculously priced, but I did think it would be neat to own a coin he once held in his hands.

Paul, I might have bid on something like that, too. But there is a limit -- always.

For that kind of money, it should include a baseball autographed by Ted Williams  |

Some people will pay a premium for documented provenance.

Sad but true. Look at what a lock of Elvis' hair is worth!

Yeah, but you will be able to clone Elvis from his hair in the future.
