Woo Hoo! I didn't know a coin like this existed! If you haven't seen it, the NGC forums have a thread running now.

EDIT: Here's some follow-up info I found on this incredible coin.

1801 Proof Bust dollar - $1,250,000 to $1,600,000. In about 1858, a small handful of proof Bust dollars dated 1801, 1802 and 1803 were restruck at the Mint, then concealed and sold to collectors some 20 years later. Of the three dates restruck, the 1801 is by far the rarest with as few as three to five examples that may exist today. Today, there are several serious buyers after this issue but none have appeared on the market and we've raised the price of each several hundred thousand dollars.

1801 Bust dollar, PR64 (estimated grade) - $1,600,000
1801 Bust dollar, PR63 (estimated grade) - $1,250,000

I'm torn. It's a spectacular piece, but as a Novodel it isn't contemporary. Who am I kidding, though - if my pockets were deep enough, I'd certainly cough up the $1.5M-ish they're talking about at NGC. And it's reasonable to assume that having it slabbed is a precursor to seeing it on the auction block.

Well, I'm not torn, Ddave. If my pockets were that deep, I'd rather bring home a real 1801 dollar. For instance, the finest known 1801, which happens to go on the block next month, from the unparalleled collection of Eric P. Newman:

Really, is this coin any less pretty?

Now that's a Dollar.

Best part is, you could probably have it for what's going to be the Buyer's Premium on that Proof.
