I think I've been working at that same long term goal. lol

It appears that the coin was sorted into the quarters by accident, or mint error. Why someone would pay $1,000 for something I have sitting on my desk, I'll never know. Maybe they thought it was "real" gold? I believe some were struck in gold for a space mission, but this one didn't sound like anything but a run of the mill $1.00 coin.
