I love hearing stories like this. What other hidden treasures are sitting around in people's drawers or deposit boxes?

Where is the obligatory guy who always pops up to say "If it was real why wasn't it slabbed?"

As a good longtime customer, I was allowed to hold one in my hand a few years ago. It was headed for auction.
I have several coins as scarce as this but they are not iconic.

Wow - great story! Love to hear things like this.  Quote:
Where is the obligatory guy who always pops up to say "If it was real why wasn't it slabbed?" Give it time. But fear not...according to the article: Quote:
The example that walked into Toledo Coin Exchange was recently graded by PCGS as a VF30, a grade point at which the handful of other similarly graded examples have traded for nearly $200,000. The store owner bought it. And the shop owner is quoted in the article as saying: Quote:
"It's a low-mintage coin, to begin with, and with less than 50 pieces known to exist, this is an exceptionally rare coin. It was exciting just to hold the coin!" Now that tactile experience is gone unless someone breaks it out. Edited by Earle42

What a collection to inherit, whoever put that all together knew their stuff If I wasn't a collector, I'd probably hold onto a double eagle as a token of who I inherited the collection from, but a piece that pricey? Nah, that's a payday right there! |
