I seem to recall, this coin has been up for auction at least three times in the last two years. The first two the reserve was set too high and it didn't sell. Obviously this last time, Sandy bought it.
It is a one of those really neat coins, that although ultra rare (probably unique), has low demand at the very high price it should sell for. Lots of people probably would buy it in the $4-6K range. We'll see if anybody bites at $15K.
