1919 ANA Convention Auction, lot 249, where it realized $56


$56 in 1919 is equivalent to approximately $1,071.14 in today's dollars. Not a bad purchase. But then sold in 1921 for $62 dollars. Who would have known

Nice read, Thanks for sharing Hondo

I had to add the big photos to this post. The small ones in the article just didn't do this beauty justice.
By the way, what is the MegaMillions up to?

On top of the massive importance and stunning condition of this coin, it also has the most spectacular toning a coin could ever have. This might be the single greatest coin in the world.
