The coin shown below is described as the world's most expensive coin.  It is listed at the top of the list of the 25 most expensive coins (link provided below).  

The most expensive coin of all time is this 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. The overwhelming majority of the Double Eagles struck that year were melted down following the Great Depression gold recall, and this is the only specimen in private hands, hence its outrageous value.

Formerly owned by coin collector extraordinaire King Farouk of Egypt and luxury shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, the revered coin sold at a Sotheby's auction in 2021 for a phenomenal $18.9 million ($22.3m/£16.7m today).

Each of the coins on the list is described and shown

Gold prices dropped sharply on Tuesday, snapping a record-setting rally as investors booked profits and the U.S. dollar regained strength. Spot gold fell nearly 5% in its steepest one-day slide since 2020, cooling off after months of surging gains that had pushed the metal to all-time highs above $4,300 an ounce, according to Reuters.

The selloff analysts say, reflects a mix of technical and sentiment-driven factors rather than a shift in gold's long-term outlook. After a stunning rally, the yellow metal is down nearly $90 per ounce, with the correction largely driven by profit-taking and overbought conditions in futures markets, according to analysts at FXStreet...

The dip is almost nothing concerned to the rise.  That is how I see it.

As I've mentioned a couple times, the Blind Creek access has been closed for renovations.  As a result nudists have been going farther north and outside the area where nudism is allowed.

Six people were arrested for alleged indecent exposure after sunbathing naked on a beach in Port Lucie, Fla.

The clothing-optional beach they usually go to is currently closed for renovations

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office has been working to let people know they can't disrobe wherever they want...
