Comments Welcome. $14,001 I thought these would go for big money, but this!https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...ars-for-enhanced-reverse-proof-american-eagle
What the article failed to mention is that the coin & COA also came with an encapsulated lock of hair from the coin press operator. Of course, it is unwashed & contains a full DNA profile, should someone want to commemorate this exceptional event (read: the minting of yet another reverse proof ASE) at a future date, perhaps in 10,000 yrs. Don't you wish we could clone some dead people????
Even if we could clone people, the clone would never become the same person as the person cloned unless we also have a way to modify consciousness. A person isn't simply genetics and matter. Our personalities are formed from a culmination of life experiences. That said, I don't understand why these dealers think the COA is such a hot item. I collect coins. If I wanted to collect limited edition pieces of paper I would collect art prints. I kind of hope they get stuck with these and buried.
I thought I was through with this POS (Piece of Silver) but when I saw the ridiculous price it went for I had to post it. The absurdity of it.
And to think I had offered to trade mine, unopened for a Type 1 $20 Liberty. No one took me up on the deal now I have a $1000+ coin in my Dansco.
