The coin, which has been in the seller's family since somewhere between 1856 and 1858, will go up for auction on September 18 through American Numismatic Rarities. The family took good care of the coin and it is in excellent condition. The starting bid is $120,000 but it is expected that the price could rise above $150,000.
