Rare Coin Sells for Big Bucks - (NEW YORK) -- A rare silver dollar that had been owned by a Brattleboro family for more than 50 years has been sold at auction in New York for more than four-Million dollars. The 1834 coin was struck as a gift for an Arab ruler at the request of President Andrew Jackson. It's actually dated 1804, because the U-S Mint used old dyes to cast a pocketful of ceremonial silver dollars. Only 15 are known to exist. It had been in the collection of the Walter H. Childs family. Childs' son and grandson bought the coin in 1945 for five-thousand dollars.

And people say the internet stocks are in a bubble. Melt it down, and it's still only worth a few dollars.
