You know, I can appreciate rarity. But over $4 million for a blooming nickle? Heck - even if it were made of pure gold, it wouldn't be worth that.
Why would anyone pay so much for a stupid nickle? Because they can. The value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for it.

I'm going to hammer a one of a kind counterfeit coin from a non counterfeit coin. Then I'm going to wait 20 years and sell it for 20 million! It's a one of kind, you just don't understand these things.
