Joe Potatoes, of Joe Potatoes Coins, Cards and Bait, announced the private treaty sale of the excessively rare 1862-D $5.00 gold coin to an unnamed St. Louis area collector for $7.5 million, a new record price for a U.S. coin. This coin, which was unknown until this past spring when it was found in the estate of a decendent of a Confederate official who had fled to Brazil in 1865, shocked the numismatic world.

In general, I do believe these sales reports, unless I am led to believe otherwise. It means nothing to me personally, since I will never be in line for the coin, so if sales figures are inflated, what's the difference?
