When a $1 coin sells for $10 million, the least one can say is that it was a good return on investment. This particular flowing hair silver-copper dollar coin is believed to be the very first silver dollar struck by the US Mint. The coin was purchased by Legend Numismatics, a rare-coin firm based in New Jersey who have said they would have bid higher if necessary.
