No I dont have one...

I just heard that one sold today at the FUN show for $1,000,000!
Gotta be a strawberry leaf but the radio news did not say.

A couple friends are at the show and I did tell them to bring me something nice.....

$1.38 million if I remember. It was a 1793 Chain Cent.
Looked slabbed but not sure what grade.
Looks higher MS.

Yeah, it was a Chain Cent. Here's the only story I could find that included a picture (obverse only).

Wow, that is the best looking chain cent I have ever seen. Amazed at how well it was kept.
Rest in Peace

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.

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!
