Why is it that their 10 millionth, 20 millionth, etc, is always some amazing hundred thousand dollar+ coin!? I smell a fix!

    Sure it is, but it's harmless.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Because "Our 50 millionth coin graded was a 1954-D Franklin Half graded AU-55" just doesn't get the juices flowing.

    Everyone else smells the same thing.

  • It hasn't been that bad.

    7 millionth 1937-D three legged Buff AU-55
    8 millionth 1917-S T-2 quarter MS-67
    9 millionth 1855 Type 2 gold dollar MS-66
    10 millionth 1844 half eagle MS-65
    11 millionth Elgin half dollar MS-69

    Some of these are hundred thousand dollar coins maybe, but not all of them.

    Oddly enough I'm having problems tracking down the NGC X mllion coins except for the 10 millionth, the 1913 V Nickel

    I recently got a Peace Dollar 7367.65 / 07000018 - does this mean it's 7 million + 18 ?
  • Only if it was in the same consignment as # seven million. image Even then I would doubt it.

    I'm sure this one was just a coincidence image
