Recently Discovered 1795 Silver Dollar Silver Plug PCGS AU‑58 CAC

Saw this in the weekend email from GC. The listing doesn't say much about it but I found this Coin World article - https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/silver-plugged-dollar-offered-in-greatcollections-sale. Fascinating - it was stored in an old shoebox and was in the family for seven generations.

Currently $142500.

I like it! But the eagle looks more like a cormorant drying it's wings.

 

Okay, Okay. Maybe they'll knock off a few grand from the price.

 

nice shoe box find!

 

Maybe Moonlight Mint will do one

 

what a beauty

liking the luster on it

and its crazy , that is sat in a box for so long

glad to see it protected now for future generation(s) to come

 

I put it in my watchlist last night. I showed it to Catherine and then messed around with my phone and said “whoops, I bid on it!” She called me a dirty name and walked out of the room!

 

reverse mortgage ?

 

Sold for $247500 with BP. Flurry of bids in the last three minutes from 3 different bidders.

 

I was NOT one of those bidders.

 

That's not what Catherine told me.

 

LOL, you about made me spit soda on my keyboard!

 

How much is the shoe box going for?
