Eric Clapton Fender Strat

An Eric Clapton owned and played guitar is cool enough on its own, but this one earns some bonus points.

Interested buyers are advised to move fast on this one: If you don’t think Dave Grohl will stumble upon this listing and buy it for one of his kids, you’re wrong: that is EXACTLY the sort of thing Dave Grohl would do before flying to NJ to take me out for a nice dinner. – Shop Now

There’s much more to it, but at nealry 30 thousand bucks, potential buyers will either already know or have too much money to care. – Shop Now

1838 Gobrecht Seated Dollar Coin

Gobrecht dollars were minted from 1836 to 1839 in the United States by engraver Christian Gobrecht using images from Thomas Sully and Titian Peale. During the official production run, several variations were produced with modified designs, including a small number in 1838 that did not include Gobrecht’s initials. The result? Very few of these coins were circulated, and the few remaining are exceedingly rare. As with all rare collectibles, the market determines the value. Right now, the market would appear to indicate that this $1 coin is valued at $236,284.57. – Shop Now
