17th coin graded by PCGS sells on GC for 6 figures!

I missed the point. The big attraction that this is 17th coin which was graded by PCGS. It has no attraction for me. Even if it were the first 1794 dollar struck, which is the reason why a collector broke the then record of $10 million for a coin, the attraction would be of limited for me. I’d rather just have one rather than paying a huge premium for the first one.

Does anybody know the answer to sensible sal's question? that coin shows a number of 002. Is that significant in the slab order for NGC? James

 

I try not to get too "rattled" by people who pay big money for stuff like that. Of course for them, what they wanted, was the holder and its low certification number. People pay premiums for low serial numbers on currency, with 00000001 being the holy grail. I used to make fun of people who'd pay big bucks for beenie babies. I had to tell myself that collecting those stuffed rags was their thing; like myself collecting coins.

 

I would get one, but there are a lot of people on GC who will take a mile when you give them a millimeter, many hanging out in the rattlers. God forbid they cone across a CAC gold Rattler, that'll certainly up their ego. Then they'll pass up the ANACS soapboxes, some of which contain incredible coins.

The ANACS soapboxes are another subject. I've managed to get a decent deal on those, one being a 1953-D DDR quarter in MS63 for $27 and some change.
