The world's greatest private collection of coins is expected to sell for $220million (£150million) in a record-breaking series of seven auctions at Sotherby's and Stack's Bowers Galleries.
Gathered over more than 30 years by Texas property developer A. Mack Pogue and his son, D. Brent Pogue, the collection contains coins from the early years of the American republic, from 1792 to the 1830s.

 

 

This shows numismatic coins & their possibilities with appreciation in a slightly different light !!

Stunning coins with ludicrous valuations, I guess to coin collectors who money is no object, no matter how rare or how pristine they are those prices just seem insanity.

absolutely no doubt about that and all desperately looking for good investment opportunities to store their ill-gotten gains. I'm pretty sure they won't be keeping it in the bank!
