TSmith3510 Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 11/27/2006 4:33 pm I agree. That has to be a mistake. Report this Post to the Staff
fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 11/27/2006 5:52 pm You've got to be kidding me. And Laura's making at least a million by reselling that finest-known nickel. If I had the money, I'd be jumping all over that coin instead of this one... Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/28/2006 12:01 pm I happened to save a snapshot of the item just in case they did close it (which I was sure they would do sooner or later)and someone didn't get a chance to see it Report this Post to the Staff
pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 12/24/2006 11:28 pm Thanks! I was a little ticked that they went and closed it before I had a chance to see it. WOW must have been a typo! considering the most valuble coin EVER sold for 7.59 million! Report this Post to the Staff
monster Valued Member United States 414 Posts	Posted 12/24/2006 11:48 pm Does it ($178 million) mean old Turkish money before they dropped all the zeros? Report this Post to the Staff
scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 12/25/2006 12:46 am what would be more out there, is to find out that a person did buy it , and they were using it as a tax right off... Report this Post to the Staff

I think even that wouldn't make sense:) Is there anything special about that coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Excuse my ignorance, I should know I guess, but what on earth makes this Jefferson nickel worth that kind of money? Is this a joke? It's not April 1. Can anybody explain its value to me? Yes someone please explane. I too am lost. Report this Post to the Staff

Excuse my ignorance, I should know I guess, but what on earth makes this Jefferson nickel worth that kind of money? Is this a joke? It's not April 1. Can anybody explain its value to me? The only thing I can think of: The coin was priceless to the seller and he did not want to get rid of it. So he decided to sell it but at a price that would make him feel better about losing his personal treasure I know everyone has a coin they would not sell for less than millions of dollars because they have a personal connection to the coin. ps.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/27/2006 5:45 pm it wasn't a joke it was just a mistake on Heritage's part, they have corrected the coin and it is probably already sold by now it was just a find it at the right time to see it before they rectified the mess up Report this Post to the Staff
