YOUR KEY TO COLLECTIBLES COIN SECTION |
From time to time - while I read a lot about almost every thing - I find things
I'll post for you
While looking over a coin magazine from March of 1997 I found this:
$1.8 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A DOLLAR
A California coin dealer paid a record $1.8 million at auction for an 1804 silver dollar, one of only 15 known to
exist.
The price topped the $1.4 million paid last year (1996) for a 1913 Liberty nickel from the same collection owned by
Louis E. Eliasberg.
Eliasberg, who died in 1976, owned one of every coin struck by the U.S. Mint from 1792-1976.
Now I think there are lessons here - one: pays to save a dollar now and then,
Two: a penny saved could bring hundreds or more.
Got the idea!
Thank you for your input
