Still waiting for your small amount of Buttcoin to make you a millionaire?
Well, I have news for you. It won't. But that jar with old coins you inherited from your grandma or whatever might ๐
Nah, it probably won't.
Anyways, as title says. A dutch quarter was recently auctioned for over one fucking million dollars!
1891 Netherlands 25 Cents source
The coin was a tiny 1891 Netherlands 25 cents quarter, also known as a kwartje and jt shattered all past records at auction, selling for a whopping โฌ1,045,000. That's $1,130,376 for my retarded American friends reading this post!
The previous record was below at โฌ700.000 and belonged to an auctioned gold coin known as rosenobel, whatever the fuck that is.
The auction guys say they only expected it to go for around โฌ300,000-โฌ400,000, so things got a bit crazy.
"This coin was the cover piece for our catalog, but we expected a hammer price between โฌ300.000 and โฌ400.000. Nobody expected this world record" said Jacco Scheper, Managing Director of HA-Europe.
I guess somebody REALLY wanted to complete their Dutch coin collection, lmao.
So yeah. Fucking crazy. Over one million bucks for one fucking quarter! Crazy how we plebs suck whale dick post here for a few dollars while some rich fellas casually throw over a million bucks for an old coin ๐

Wow, so pristine!!!
Do you think it is worth it?
Well, if I had money to throw around, why not this coin!
!BBH
Someone did ๐
It's wild to me that it could sell for that. And it looks like a Canadian Quarter.
Wilhelmina is much sexier though!
You never know what the hammer price will be on extremely rare coins. I see really crazy winning prices often on auction house sites.
That's an expensive quarter!
put it in a slot machine and look what happens to win special price, lmao
Lmao
Wait, I got five of those... I wish! More than I would pay!
!BBH
Only 5? Pleb!
At the 1,000,000 bid mark, at least two bidders really wanted this coin. And the next bid will separate the man from the boys to get this gal. Classic movie drama!
A gentleman's battle royale ๐

It's crazy to see the collectors bid it up that much. I just don't think it's worth it but maybe they have more money than they can use.
