1804 silver dollar sells for $2.5 million
 

This coin literally has doubled in value in three years. It's the
Adams specimen, Class III, probably made in 1858. It's last appearance
at a public auction was in July 2003 when it brought $1,207,500, the
first Class III 1804 dollar to break the million dollar mark.

Three of the six known Class III specimens are in museums: Smithsonian,
ANA, and American Numismatic Society.

What's the grade on this thang up to these days?

It wuz first slabbed by PCGS as a PF45, then slabbed by NGC
as a PF50, then reslabbed by PCGS as a PF58. That was all
the way back in 2003, though, so I suspect it might be up
to a PF61 or PF62 by now ...

That would account for the increase in value, it's in better condition now
than it was then. :-) Billy
