WAY ahead of my pay grade.
Frankly I’d rather have a high grade Chain AMERI. Cent which is a lot cheaper.
Not only that, but it wasn’t struck decades later.
Just a little bit out of my price point
If I could, I'd pay to hold it

You should be able to hold the coin for free - you just have to pay for the travel required to get to where you can do that.

I wasn't going to until I read it's the only CAC approved 1804 dollar.
The most beautiful coin I have ever seen.
I'm just a bit short though.
Do you have to have a pre-approval letter or something to do that? I mean it is worth millions of dollars.
I don't think so. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't expect that someone would be turned down from examining a multi-million dollar coin at a lot viewing.
Of course, there would/should be adequate security present.
But in case I'm wrong, I'm not offering a (travel expense) money- back guarantee.

Crazy set of coins!! Here are some of my favorites listed on the website. Proof 1854 $20 (unique), 1828/7 BD-2 R-8 $5 (previously unique, second known), and of course the 1804 dollar!!!

I’ve attended the WFOM at Rosemont and held an 1804 Silver dollar in my hand. A guard was right behind me and they kept a list of all that had viewed it in case there was a problem. It was MOST Excellent!
A 63 class Ii is priced on coinfacts at 10M.
It would be nice to see this go for 8 figures but I don't know in this market. Any predictions?
If it does the hobby gets a bump and maybe billionaires raise their eyebrows.
What a cool drop, kudos to the collector.
Except the collector died in 1951. I wonder who has been appreciating his estate’s holdings for the last three-quarters of a century?

oops
will edit!
Why is the fact he is deceased an exception? We honor too many to list collectors who accumulated quietly and have passed. The hobby and of course heirs appreciate and benefit from the recognition of a consummate collector with impeccable taste and knowledge.
Restrike. Pffft.
CAC is beaning restrikes?
I'm starting a Go Fund Me. Coin collecting is an addiction afterall.
I might bid, just as I bid on the Eliasberg 1913 Liberty nickel. Can say I was an underbidder, but waaaaaay below the winning bid.
How much spare cash u got? JK
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️

Reminds me of the first time I went to the Baltimore show around 2003-04. I happened to stroll past the tables of whoever was doing the big show auctions and chatted briefly with the lovely woman behind the tables. We were discussing a few of the coins and she asked if I'd like to see any of them!!!
I remember how nervous I was when she handed me a coin worth half a million dollars.

Here's the 1870-S half dime nestled in with my set, as it was in 2019. Then-owner Tom Bender was pretty freely letting people examine it, and let me have a complete set for a few minutes... I will not be bidding on that 1804 dollar.

I have held five 1804 Dollars, two of them raw. The Garrett EF-40 and the Linderman Proof.
They are more fun raw.

This is the most expensive coin I’ve ever held. Unfortunately I’m short a few dollars and won’t be bidding.
May I respectfully suggest that the title of this thread be changed to include a mention of its subject?
I am afew zeros short... Even a Go Fund Me page won't help
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I'm curious what it will go for will determine what state the market is for big coins.
In the art world 10M is chump change. All it takes is two uber rich to want it.
Aa my relative in the private jet business reminds me, to some people 10M isn't a lot of money. Will be fun to watch. Wow.
