Steven Contursi made headlines last year when he sold a rare coin for a record-breaking $7.85 million, and the Laguna Beach resident has again broken the $7 million mark.
Contursi, president of Irvine-based Rare Coin Wholesalers, sold a 1787 gold coin for just under $7.4 million this week through a New Orleans-based intermediary company to a Wall Street hedge fund. Contursi bought the Brasher Doubloon in 2005 for almost $3 million.
