The most expensive coin in the world is for sale

This coin is believed to have been in the hands of the first president of the United States, George Washington.

A 1794 silver dollar, which is the most expensive coin in the world, was auctioned. It sold for $ 10 million in 2013 and could break the world record. On Friday, September 4, CNN reports.

The first dollar minted represents Liberty, stylized like ancient Greek goddesses. The reverse is engraved with a bald eagle, the heraldic symbol of the United States.

“This dream coin is a priceless artifact that I was proud of, and I am very sorry to part with it. I hope the new owner of the coin values ​​it as much as I do,” the owner of the coin, Bruce Morelan, told the television channel. .

It is noted that a total of 1,758 coins of this type were issued, of which only about 130 have survived to this day. They were intended primarily for congressmen and honorary citizens of the United States.

Previously in Scotland, the world’s most expensive sheep was sold at the Scottish National Sale of Texel for a record 367.5 thousand pounds (about $ 490.6 thousand).
