RARE DIME FETCHES $1.3 MILLION AT AUCTION

A dime struck in 1894 at the San Francisco mint was auctioned recently for $1,322,500, a coin dealer said.

The winning bidder took part in the sale by phone and was not identified. The coin was one of only 24 dimes made that year at the mint.

The coin was consigned to the auction by Bradley Hirst of Richmond, Indiana, who bought it for $825,000 six years ago, according to John Feigenbaum, president of David Lawrence Rare Coins of Virginia Beach, VA, the auctioneer.
