A ten-cent coin from 1894 was sold for 1.25 million dollars during Stack's Bowers Galleries' Rarities Night auction. This piece, known as the "Barber Dime," was created by Charles Barber and is considered one of the greatest rarities in American numismatics.

Only 24 copies of this coin were minted at the San Francisco Mint, all as proof coins, and currently only nine are known worldwide.

According to Popular Science, it was this coin that made Q. David Bowers nationally known in 1957, when he was only 19 years old. Bowers eventually acquired the coin for 4,750 dollars.
