<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1443177, member: 11521&quot;]To clarify, Eliasberg bought the coin (for $11,500) in January 1946. Harry Bass bought the coin from the Eliasberg estate (for $687,500) in October 1982. (Harry Bass put together the only complete set of every US gold coin (by date and mintmark) issued by the US Mint.) </p><p><br /></p><p>The unique 1870-S $3 (as well as the rest of the gold coin collection) is currently on permanent loan to the ANA Museum in Colorado Springs and is on display in the Harry Bass wing of the museum. (I know the 1870-S $3 is in the ANA Museum because I saw it there less than 2 weeks ago. I may go by there tomorrow to check up on it.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Has this coin in the auction in Georgia been authenticated by PCGS or NGC? I would think that a coin that rare and that valuable would have been slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
