  Very cool! It is one thing to own something rare; it is quite another to own the best of those rare items.
  
  I aim to do the same on a cheaper scale with Mercury Dime Varieties.

  He may have to have to do some 'splainin' to mom as to why he paid 1 million for a penny.

  Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

  Interesting how the 43-D is beginning to sound cheap at $1.7 million!

  What is the story about these. I suppose it has been stated here before but how did the coppers get out?

  Thanks again Lance. The links are very useful.
  
  I noticed the 1943-D and 1943-S steel cents have consecutive cert numbers. I wonder if the coins will be recertified so they are all consecutive.
  
  It also looks like PCGS is kicking it up a notch as well. While all six coins are Secure Plus, the 1943-S Bronze is the only coin that has an additional link to the SP image.
  
  Secure Plus:
  
  
  
  TrueView for comparison:
