Came across this fun"fact" a YouTuber posted to his own video, promoting his own coin.

The coin in the paragraph sounds very familiar. There was a guy on one of the Yahoo groups years and years ago (maybe 20 years ago at this point) trying to peddle a 95 double denomination with the exact same characteristics for $1,000,000. He claimed that the price would only increase every day. Not certain he ever sold it. At least for that price anyway.
I believe we have seen a 'cent/dime' error coin recently shown on this forum. Do not recall when, but seems like it was this year. Do not recall any pricing associated with it. Cheers, RickO
@Rampage Same coin. Same guy. Still trying. Buy Now price - USD 20,000,000 https://youtube.com/shorts/fNVRtJU-5WQ?feature=share

There are also the similar coins struck on the wrong denomination blank planchet.
I did not find reference to $20,000,000, but yes, it certainly seems to be the same coin and same person. Too bad Alan Hager did not get the designation correct with the ACG slab. I recall in the old Yahoo group that we tried and tried to tell the guy it is not worth a million dollars, but he stood his ground. Well, here it is over 20 years later and still has not found a buyer. He will take it with him to his grave I guess.
@yosclimber Thanks for sharing! Oops, same coin! Didn't mean to reopen an old conversation, just thought seeing a PCGS CoinFact go from fact to fiction to fantasy might bring a smile to someone's face.
Here's the photo I posted in my post in March this year from the ANA National Money Show in Colorado Springs.
Holy cow you have an amazing memory Ricko!
Loved this thing but had already made my purchases...
