You know you can trust CoinWeek to tell it like it is. In this episode of CoinWeek's popular Uncool Coins!, rare coin dealer Russ Augustin of AU Capital Management shares with us the story of one of the U.S. series' great rarities, an 1879 Stella $4 gold pattern. This is a coin that often sells for well over $150,000. But this is no average example.
Instead of being preserved in its original state by a fastidious collector, it was "spent" and later mounted on a necklace. By whom? and Why?
These are the questions we sought answers to. You certainly won't want to miss this tale of moral turpitude!
