Since I started collecting silver and shit google suggests me all kinds of silver/gold numismatic news stories.. Usually I don't even click them, cause it's the same boring shit again and again, but sometimes something pops up that piques my interest..
And this is one of them!
Take a look at this little beauty that got auctioned a few days ago
Can you guess how much it went for?
630 thousand fucking dollars 😄
A vintage Chinese coin certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) realized an impressive $630,000 in a recent Heritage Auctions sale. source
God damn... I really wonder how rich some people are. Most people wouldn't be able to afford it even after selling their organs. And yet, somewhere there is a rick dick throwing 630 k to buy it...and probably stash it somewhere never to be seen by the light of sun again 😄😂
As for the coin itself, it is a Long-Whiskered Dragon Silver Dollar, one of the most sought after vintage Chinese coins.
This particular one was struck at the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 and has a pattern by Luigi Giorgi (whoever the fuck that is) which makes it one of the most sought of late Imperial silver Dollars. And of course it's super rare.
After doing a bit of digging on these coins, it looks like they all are pretty rare, at least in this condition.. They often go in auctions from 500k to over a million fucking dollars. A piece.
Here's one that went for over 2 mil
Or this one (sorry no pic) that closed at almost 3 million! That can get you a mansion, with lifetime maintance slaves. But instead someone bought a coin, geez 😄😂

Yeah... I won't be stacking any of those beauties any time soon, lmao. Perhaps
