<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 7309745, member: 24091&quot;]What an auction, I was there in the ballroom this evening when it was sold.&nbsp; The coin had been subject to internet bidding for several weeks before opening in the live session at 3.6 million dollars.&nbsp; The next bid came in at $6.0 million and was clearly meant to be a shock and awe amount meant to shut down any other bidders thinking the coin could be had for less than that.&nbsp; After 6 additional minutes of exceptionally well executed auctioneering, Stack&#039;s Bowers Galleries was able to coax an additional million dollars in bids prior to the lot closing at 7 million hammer, $8.4 million all-in, to shatter the record for most valuable gold coin from a US mint to ever sell at auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]fQoc_7M_6lU[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
