b17commander Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 03:55 am Here's something I found in the UK newspapers, a US copper coin going for $1.38 million. It says the buyer is a "major collector" they forgot to mention a very very rich collector. Report this Post to the Staff

murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 1:51 pm Oldest US coin at the finest grade known? Yes please, count me in if I had enough disposable income. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 09:52 am Oldest US coin yes, but not the finest grade. This piece is at least #3 for this variety. It is a record price for a US copper beating out the finest 1795 S-79 by about $100K. (I remember when the record for the first US coin to sell for over $100K was set. Now we have $100K difference between the high end pieces.) Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 3:42 pm That is an impressive coin, but do you think the model really looked like that? Kind of scary to see someone who looks like that walking around, even back in those days. And this coin is making news just about everywhere. Report this Post to the Staff
