<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 900973, member: 66&quot;]No this coin nor any of the 1794 dollars,has NEVER held the record for highest sale price.&nbsp; The first $100K was either the 1913 V nickel or the 1804 dollar.&nbsp; The two coins sold as a pair for $180K so it is a bit unclear which was the $100K and which was the $80K coin.&nbsp; They weren&#039;t $90K each because it was specificly reported that one was 100K.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, but under that theory every plugged or adjusted pice was struck on a &quot;specially prepared planchet&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Possible but unlikely.&nbsp; Since all the silver used for the 1794 dollars came from and was owned by Mint Director Rittenhouse the coin would have belonged to him.&nbsp; He may have donated it to a dignitary, but it would NOT have gone directly into the Mint collection since that collection was not begun until years later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
