You Couldnt’ Write This If You Tried

Submited by andrew on Sat, 17/02/2007

With a script like something out of a Hollywood movie, one of
America's rarest coins (with a pricetag of US$3 million) was recently
re-discovered after having been believed missing for several decades.
The mainstream media loves to beat up stories about little old ladies
discovering rarities in their closets or some such, but this story really has to be seen to be believed.

In 1962, a US coin dealer that owned (among other things) a 1913
Liberty Head Nickel died in a car crash while on the way to an
interstate coin show. The coin was thought to be lost, but was
"re-discovered" by the heirs following a publicity campaign to flush it
out several years back. This has to be made into a telemovie!
