    Well...well...well....$10 MILLION....I think I'll take it...it will mean I can't go to the show next month but I think it would be worth it....

    All in All...I'm not sure that set is worth $10 million...the dates on the coins are not the dates they were minted if I understand it right so therefor it would be a restrike or a token almost...

    But you are also paying for the story and history behind this set...

    None of the 1804 dollars were actually struck in 1804 - this one is no different. The $10 Proof is a restrike - there are 4 known. I believe the others are dated as when struck. This would truly be a set to own.

    It was offered last year as well, same price - no takers.
