πΈπΈπΈ Dutch Quarter Goes for over a million Bucks! πΈπΈπΈ
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 π
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 β¬1,045,000. That's $1,130,376 for my retarded American friends reading this post!
The previous record was below at β¬700.000 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 β¬300,000-β¬400,000, so things got a bit crazy.
"This coin was the cover piece for our catalog, but we expected a hammer price between β¬300.000 and β¬400.000. 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 π

Only 5? Pleb!
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

How do you like crapitalism now?
Take the chapter 9 challenge?
Simply debunk the math.
What we have is the intended design.
Meh, humans gonna human
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 π
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.
Wow, so pristine!!!
Do you think it is worth it?
Well, if I had money to throw around, why not this coin!
