EITHER "The highest ever price" refers only to coins sold in
Schulman auctions, OR they need to do better research ...
This wouldn't have even broken into the Top Ten Prices Realized
for NGC-certified Stellas, according to NGC:
1 $575,000.00 1880 COILED HAIR $4 PF PF 62 1/7/2009
2 $546,250.00 1880 COILED HAIR $4 PF PF 62 7/31/2009
3 $402,500.00 1879 FLOWING HAIR $4 PF PF 67 8/13/2006
3 $402,500.00 1879 COILED HAIR $4 PF PF 63 8/13/2006
5 $316,250.00 1879 COILED HAIR $4 PF PF 63 1/3/2007
5 $316,250.00 1880 FLOWING HAIR $4 PF PF 65 4/9/2007
7 $287,500.00 1879 COILED HAIR $4 PF PF 63 1/12/2005
8 $264,500.00 1880 FLOWING HAIR $4 PF PF 65 1/12/2005
9 $230,000.00 1879 FLOWING HAIR $4 PF PF 66 3/6/2008
10 $209,875.00 1879 FLOWING HAIR $4 PF PF 66 6/3/2004
And I'm certain that numerous PCGS-certified Stellas similarly
topped $130K (but I'm not willing to pay to find out ...).
And of course the record auction price for any U. S. gold coin
is $7.5 millyun for the 1933 dubble iggle in July 2002 ...
