Four dollar gold coin to auction…

The one time coin collector in me loves stories like this one:

Never before heard of the 1880 $4 Coiled Hair Stella, but given its rarity -and the fact that this particular example looks to be absolutely mint- it doesn’t surprise me its value is estimated as high as it is.

Not that I’d ever entertain buying such a luxury item! 😉
