A Southern California man has spent $4.8 million to purchase 26 cents. At an auction last week, the individual submitted a winning bid of $2.6 million for a 1792 penny, plus $2.2 million for a quarter from the same year. The penny was one of only 10 coins that was "experimentally produced" after the U.S. Mint was established, reported Fox News.
Gonna make me work huh? From the 2015 January FUN Sale: 1792 Birch Cent, Judd-4, MS65 Red and Brown The Finest Known $2,585,000 1792 Eagle-on-Globe Copper Quarter Dollar Judd-12, MS63 Brown $2,232,500 Cool coins! The copper quarter is essentially unique since the only other example is in the Smithsonian. The titles are the links btw.
That Fox headline is the typical condensed idiocy we have grown used to from major news outlets these days.
