One of the RLOL board members used to own one of the coins in this list. Can anyone guess which coin that is?

I will go with the 1936 Canadian “dot cent”. Thanks for the interesting read.

Wow! Those are some hard to read descriptions. :001_rolleyes:
Example:
"1.1933 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Hawkeye Bread – $7,590,020
This was minted in 1933 by the US government during the abundant depression. 4,45,000 bill were minted but to abate the furnishings of abasement government never appear these coins. All the bill were taken back. The bread which never went to the US government became the best big-ticket bread with the amount of $7,590,020...."
Who ever translated that to english could use some more lessons or a different dictionary, LOL!
OR, is that done intentionally to include specific search engine words?
I have seen stuff like that before and figured the author was an idiot.
Otherwise, awesome coins!

You're right about the bizarre descriptions. Maybe the article was translated by Google translate, because it's hard to imagine a human having come up with that wording.
Re: 10 Most Expensive Coins in the World
Someone on the board was inquiring about an 1804 silver dollar a while back. Could this be the answer to your question?
Re: 10 Most Expensive Coins in the World
Ok.
Wheels got it.
It was the 1936 Canadian dot penny.
But that's just one I know about. Did another RLOL member own the 1804 Silver Dollar?
That would make a great story.
