Rare coin reached $3.7Million in bidding

A rare 1913 U.S. coin once owned by an Egyptian king and later featured in a famous U.S. TV detective series was sold for more than $3.7 million (2.3 million pounds) in a public auction in Florida, the auctioneers said on Friday.

The so-called Liberty Head nickel, one of only five known of that specific date and design, was sold in bidding to a private East Coast coin collector in Orlando late on Thursday, as per Texas-based Heritage Auctions. The buyer wished to remain anonymous.
