I would really like to see that coin 'in hand'...though the pictures are very nice too. Cheers, RickO

I analyzed the coin, discussed its pedigree, and detailed the recent history of auction records for copper numismatic items being frequently broken. Plus, Greg Hannigan, Chris McCawley, and Matt Kleinsteuber are quoted. Please read:

So, a dollar worth of these 1793 cents is worth $138 million today? That's some extreme hyperinflation

(well, I guess if there were a hundred of these extant in this condition, they wouldn't be worth quite so much....)

The video sure adds a whole new perspective to the coin over just the normal photos. Very nice looking cent.
