[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1548756, member: 66"]If the other one ever shows up maybe we will find out. It was 1986 or 1987 and it was bid at auction up to $8 million, ($9.2 million with the juice) but he had a reserve of $10 million on the coin and it didn't sell. I consider it to be the most valuable coin because there was a willing buyer at the $9.2 million dollar level. If the seller had decided to wave the reserve it WOULD have sold for that amount. For a long time the 1933 double eagle held the record for an actual sale, $6.6 million, $7.59 million with the juice. That was topped by the Amon Carter 1794 dollar at $7.85 million in a private transaction in 2010. Before Martin Logies bought it, it's owner Steven Contursi had exhibited it claiming it was a $10 million dollar coin. (If it was why did he sell it for $7.85 million?)
