Well I have never held one in my hand until today. Must say it was kind of cool to see one. I've always heard about them and always hoped I would find one. They only wanted $15k for it...

The weight would be 3.1 grams.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

There is a coin shop in Flagstaff and the first time I walked in the owner had a bit of small talk.
Mind you this is about 5 minutes after we met, he HANDED me a slabbed ms-63 1944 steel cent and said what do you think of that?
$100K coin! The most valuable coin I've ever held.
