I may have actually tortured this one myself back when I was a kid. It was in my box o' junk and I vaguely remember my brother and I putting coins...
People have been running around like Chicken Little about how you should put everything into gold or silver because it's all going to crash, for...
I looked up the 1873 medal by George H. Lovett mentioned in the auction blurb. The illustration of the NE threepence is rather crude but it's...

It all just seems stupid to me. Bet on the price dropping while trying to pump up some sort of panic to cause that, get caught with your pants...

Hammered at $506,250 with BP. Bidder 21 came in on Sunday and would not be denied. Bidder 20 jacked it up by $45000 but went home empty.
Good tip and I'll experiment with it a bit more. I'm too lazy to get very sophisticated with this. The problem I have (and many others probably)...
I only have an iPhone 14 and experiment with it. My best efforts are with indirect natural light at a window. The temptation is to center the coin...
So it seems like there would have been a coin with a strong strike-through from the screw. It's probably lost to time by now though.
It's up to $418k with discounted BP (10%). Hammer is 5pm Pacific today. It will be interesting to see if there's a last minute flurry. 200 bids so...
