1913 Liberty Head Nickel: The Five Million Dollar Mystery

The 1787 New York-Style Brasher Doubloon, graded MS65★ by NGC, set a remarkable world record when it sold for $9.36 million at a Heritage Auctions sale on January 21, 2021. This exceptional coin, known as “The World’s Most Famous Coin,” is the finest of only seven known specimens and had only been auctioned twice before since 1848. Created by New York silversmith Ephraim Brasher, George Washington’s neighbor, the coin features Brasher’s distinctive “EB” hallmark on the eagle’s wing. Its record-breaking sale price established it as the most valuable gold coin ever sold at auction, surpassing previous records and cementing its status as a true numismatic treasure
