The American Numismatic Association's Edward C. Rochette Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo., once again has a 1792 silver half disme in its numismatic collection.
Congratulations are due to the American Numismatic Association for landing a significant coin donation to the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum.
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.
The Edward C. Rochette Money Museum collection now contains a 1792 Half Disme, thanks to the generosity of a California coin dealer.
Historically significant coin valued at more than $220,000.
The legendary Brasher Doubloon, made in 1787 by George Washington's New York City neighbor, has been sold for a record price by Steven L. Contursi, President of Rare Coin Wholesalers in Irvine, California. A Wall Street investment company subsequently paid nearly $7.4 million for the historic gold coin.

A hedge fund has acquired one of the rarest coins in the world for more than $7 million.
The unique 1787 Brasher Doubloon he purchased in 2005 was the inspiration for the name of a new brand of wine, Arrow&Branch, just released by well-known professional numismatist and Napa Valley California vineyard owner Steven L. Contursi, President of Rare Coin Wholesalers of Irvine, California.
Coin collectors from across the country are expected to pop their corks over a Napa vintner's $7.5 million vintage gold coin when it is displayed in Sacramento for the first time.
