<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 26493459, member: 66&quot;]Something to remember next time someone asks if a details coin is worth anything.&nbsp; That $6 million dollar 1870 S 3 dollars gold has graffiti on it and has had a loop removed from the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>4 known,&nbsp; Was three with one of them stolen in the 1967 DuPont robbery which has never been recovered, and then the fourth one turned up in 2021.&nbsp; Comparison of the new coin with photos of the DuPont coin showed that it wasn&#039;t the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The graffiti isn&#039;t a 3 scratched on the front, it&#039;s an 868 scratched at the top of the reverse above the ends of the wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p>Records do seem to indicate that a full set of coins was struck for inclusion in the cornerstone.&nbsp; I would suspect that for those coins which weren&#039;t struck for circulation (half dime, quarter, silver dollar and 3 dollar) at least a&nbsp; few were struck of each so they would have a choice from which to select the best one for the cornerstone.&nbsp; I think the cornerstone pieces are still in the Mint someplace. and the unique half dime and three dollar and the 9 silver dollars known today are from the overrun made to select from.&nbsp; The quarter dollar still hasn&#039;t shown up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
