    What a bargain at $1,740,000!
    Did anyone see the 1952 Mickey Mantle rookie go for $12 mil last week?
    This unique piece should be worth 10 times that price.

    What a historical treasure that is.... While we imagine the history of our coins, it would be great to have one that Washington actually carried. Cheers, RickO
