A $3 cold coin is expected to fetch $4 million when it goes up for auction next month. The 1870-S is one of just two ever made and is one of the rarest coins in US history. It was discovered in a San Francisco bookshop in 1997 by a European tourist, who found it glued to the inside pages of a souvenir book.

Not sure who is being portrayed on the coin, Columbia?

Generic Indian Princes. The non-S versions sells for about $3,000.

I wrote about this auction here. Not one person who replied thought it was genuine and neither do I. Anyone who bids more than the value of the gold in the coin is out of their mind.
