I just ran across this article concerning the fourth 1854 S $5 gold coin authenticated. The owner thought it was fake, but it wasn't and is worth millions. See article:

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018...illions.html

This seemed to be the forum to place this in, and I saw no other topic about it. Sorry if it has been posted already where I couldn't find it.

It was, but the link was to an NGC article. It's nice to see it made the news where more than just us coin collecting nerds will see it. Maybe a few more people will understand us...

The average person will never understand paying millions of dollars for a coin.
