  Amazing... I was wondering what that would sell for...followed the initial reports when it was found and authenticated. Cheers, RickO

  I kept thinking more of those would be found on the SS Central America, but I guess not.

  Be careful here. It's in an NGC holder.
  Can't have any value, right?

  It looks a little glassy or cleaned to me. Not much eye appeal. Wasn't this the issue, though different coin, that NGC trumpeted as a discovery coin a few months ago?

  It was a mistake for someone to pass on this coin. IMO

  This is a great coin. Despite talk that it would bring about this much, I really thought/hoped it would go for more. Looks like someone got a good deal IMO...for those who play at that level, that is.

  You are probably right. Just thought I could get you to say it.

  It sold for more than the AU50 and AU53 and $27,500 less than the AU55. I think $2.1 mill is a great price for it.

  Well, we didn’t . We were involved with the winning bid and bought the coin with a partner.
