Not sure where they got the "could sell for $1M". I could not find where Stack's Bowers claimed that other than the writer claiming it in the article. According to the article itself Stack's Bowers valued it "at roughly $200,000". If Stack's Bowers mentioned it, they might have been referencing that a Coiled Hair 1879 has topped $1M in the past.

The record for an 1879 Flowing Hair appears to be $411,250 by Stack's Bowers June 2012 for an NGC Proof-68 Ultra Cameo. The 2 higher prices shown in the PCGS auction prices list are both errors with one being an 1880 Flowing Hair at $431,250 and the $1,040,000 coin being the much rarer Coiled Hair 1879. I see PCGS now has a "Send us your feedback, comments, or suggestions" link on Coin Facts. Will have to try that out to see if they follow up on it.

Not even close to $1,000,000 My guess is $200,000-225,000

Sold a green label CAC one about a year ago, which would easily grade 66 CAM today for this range.

Pick up two of them in case you ever need a spare.
