Most expensive coin in the world

You may have collected coins as a hobby in some last years or you may have inherited these coins from your Grandfather, Grandmother. And now you may be interested in selling these coins for a good cash. Let me tell you what not to do.

1) Never sell or spend your ancient collected coins at their face value.

2) Do Not Clean Your Coins! Cleaning them automatically makes them worth less. A coin with a few small dings that has not been cleaned is worth more than a coin that has no dings, but has been cleaned.

Coin collection has been a very good hobby around the world. While people collect various different coins across the world, some rarest coins are always in great demand. The great demand increases the coin value. These rare coins are auctioned via different sources. Three different sources for selling coins are: -

1) Physical Auction: - You will have to find an auction and ensure that auction committee is interested in selling your coins. They may charge fee for auctioning your coins. Either they will take some percentage of your auctioned price value or they will take a flat value.

2) Online Auction: - This may be the best option in general for those who wish to get the most for their coins, and are not limited by time constraints. Selling your coins one at a time, over months and possibly years is the best way to get the most for your coin or coin collection. But where? I highly advise against using eBay or feeBay as many people call it. The fees to list and sell a coin on eBay are on the verge of outrageous. Just trust us on this one. Unless you are an experienced eBay user skip them. So where do you sell online? I've listed a few sites below that are trustworthy fair alternatives to feeBay.

a) GreatCollections.com:- this site allows you to sell your coins with low fees. They also offer grading, storage, and a healthy marketplace as of early 2013.

b) Coins.Ha.com:- Heritage sells more than just coins, but is the largest in terms of overall sales.

I hope that it has helped you. I will tell you now the most expensive coin in the world till now. The value of a coin will always be connected to its rarity.

$20 million coin 1849 Double Eagle is the most expensive coin in the world. During the start of the California gold rush in 1849, United States Mint in Philadelphia created this extremely rare coin. This Double Eagle gold piece was released in denominations of $20. Just a couple of years ago, the value of the coin was estimated to be at $15 million. Just a year later, its value has risen by a third. The first-ever piece of the 1849 Double Eagle can be found at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Numismatic Collection.

World's Most Expensive Jewelry

Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor's Jewelry

Sold On: 13-14 December 2011
Sale Price: $115.932 million


Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. Hollywood beauty Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her jewelry love in her lifetime. But late Liz Taylor's presence was still sparkling when her precious jewelry was sold at an auction on 14 December, 2011. The big splash was expected naturally when the jewelry hit the auction block. But very few have thought that this will become the most expensive private collection jewelry ever sold in the world by such a large margin. This collection of Liz Taylor's jewelry was expected to be sold at around $30 million but when auctioned off, the final sale price came out to be $115.932 million which was much higher than anticipated. The star attraction in this collection included the historic La Peregrinate necklace, the famous Elizabeth Taylor Diamond and a Taj Mahal Ruby.

Most Expensive Shopping Mall in the World

In the present scenario shopping malls are considered to be the only destination where a famous global luxury brand as well as a local product is made available to customers under the same roof. There are several expensive shopping malls scattered all over the globe where luxurious items can be purchased after forking out a substantial sum of money.

A shopping mall can be classified according to various categories.  The parameters under which a mega mall can be defined range from attributes like size, expensive design and most importantly, the total cost incurred during the construction of the shopping center.

According to reports “The New South China Mall” situated in Dongguan, China is considered to be the world’s most expensive shopping mall built till date. Reportedly feet gigantic shopping mall is spread over the 6.5 million square of carpet area .It’s cavernous space allows it to lease out more than 1,500 stores which are spread out across the length and breadth of the grand mall. Apparently this shopping complex has seven branches situated all over the world which includes global destinations of the likes of Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Rome, California and the exotic Caribbean Islands. The luxurious mall has been created with several levels. The 1^st level is occupied by stores selling designer clothing and expensive jewelries and also contains quite a few high end restaurants. However the rest of the mall is mostly occupied by shops hawking books, children’s toys and sportswear.  According to some news reports even though the mall was opened in 2005, majority of its stores have not yet been opened due to its high rental cost which puts off a lot of retailers. Another point attributed to its low occupancy is the location of the mall which reportedly is not well connected by the public transport system in China. However this expensive mall is truly living up to its high standard. The mall authorities have hired several employees to cater to their customers in a quick and efficient manner.

World's Most Expensive Office Tower

The $3.8bn cost of Freedom

The Freedom Tower, New York's latest architectural wonder, is being built to replace the twin towers and has not exactly gone according to plan

As a symbol that the US could bounce back from 9/11 and regain its global mojo, the Freedom Tower hasn't exactly worked as planned. Possibly the only "freedom" now associated with New York's twin towers replacement is budgetary: it is unofficially the most expensive office tower ever built, having now cost approximately $3.8bn (£2.3bn), almost twice the original estimate. And it's not finished yet.

If the Freedom Tower represents anything, it's that bygone era when George W Bush was a credible leader, Osama bin Laden was public enemy number one, and the fear was that Wall Street would be occupied by al-Qaida rather than students protesting about financial mismanagement. The Empire State Building was also built during a recession, but back then the greatest public enemy was Al Capone. Prohibition was about to end, the New Deal was on the way, and everyone was too busy thinking about making money to agonise over the past. In retrospect, that looks like freedom.

World's Most Expensive Animal

Animals are one of the creatures living, should we keep our attention and their habitats, many people who can kill the animals so that their habitat is threatened with extinction, but there are also some people who like animals and maketh as a pet and really pay attention specifically to the way treat them with great affection. They are also willing to pay that expensive to buy these animals ranging from tens of millions to billions of dollars. Here is the world's most expensive animal.

The Green Monkey, the Racehorse – $16 million

The most expensive animal is Green Monkey. Reportedly bought for a world record price of $16,000,000, the Green Monkey refers to an American Thoroughbred racehorse sold in auction at Calder Race Course in 2006. The horse’s name was lent from the

Green Monkey golf course in Barbados, in addition to the fact that he was foaled in the Chinese Year of the wooden/green monkey.Green Monkey is the name given to the horse racing 2-year-old was sold at the Calder Race Course by Demi O’Byrne. This horse is a champion twice in the Kentucky Derby horse race, but after that never won a race again, Green Monkey finally officially retired on February 12, 2008. This horse is in possession of Randy Hartley and Dean De Renzo at first and then sell it at auction Fasig-Tipton Calder in 2006. Hartley and De Renzo buy back the horse is a horse with the help of someone businessman John Magnier.

World's most expensive Camera

World's most expensive Camera:1923 Leica 0-Series

This 1923 Leica camera that sold at auction for 2.16 million euros ($2.8 million), an absolute record.

German camera-maker Leica is one of the most famous names in high-quality cameras. This 1923 0-series Leica is a piece of camera history, one from the first batch of 31 cameras the company ever created. Only about 12 are known to still exist; fewer still are in such a pristine condition. That means this camera can command top dollar — or, in this case, top euro.

It was sold at the WestLicht Photographica auction in Vienna, eventually fetching an eye-watering €2.16 million. That's about $2.8 million. Bidding started at a relatively respectable $390,000, but in the course of 4 minutes offers reached $2.3 million. The final price is higher because it includes a—rather sizeable—buyer's premium.

The world's previous most expensive camera was also a 0-series Leica, but it sold for a paltry $1.7 million.

Most Expensive substance in the world

ANTIMATTER

In terms of production costs, the most expensive substance in the world is antimatter. The cost of creating this material has been estimated at about $1,771 trillion US Dollars (USD) per ounce ($62.5 trillion USD per gram), although some authorities think it may eventually come down to a mere $141.75 billion USD per ounce ($5 billion USD per gram). This is the cost of antihydrogen, the simplest form of this type of substance, and the antimatter equivalent of the element hydrogen. Other anti-elements would be even more expensive. As of 2013, only small numbers of antihydrogen atoms have been produced — for research purposes only — and the substance is not available for sale.

Why Antimatter is so Expensive

Antimatter consists of particles that can be considered the opposites of their normal matter counterparts. The matter people are familiar with is made up of atoms, which consist of a nucleus containing heavy, positively charged, particles called protons surrounded by a “cloud” of lightweight, negatively charged electrons. Atoms of antimatter have negatively charged antiprotons in the nucleus, with positively charged anti-electrons — normally called positrons — surrounding them. Although antiprotons have been detected in cosmic rays, and positrons are emitted by some radioactive elements, there is no known natural source of anti-atoms, so antimatter has to be manufactured.
Positrons can be obtained quite easily from materials that emit them, but the much heavier antiprotons have to be created in particle colliders — machines that send subatomic particles crashing into one another, and into other materials, at enormous speeds. These collisions concentrate tremendous amounts of energy into extremely small volumes of space, which results in the creation of matter in the form of particles and antiparticles, including antiprotons. These can be separated magnetically, and combined with positrons to make atoms of antihydrogen.
Since these anti-atoms can only be made at a handful of facilities, and only in tiny quantities, antihydrogen is extremely scarce. Not only is it difficult and costly to make, it is also difficult to trap and store. Anti-atoms are strongly attracted to normal atoms, due to electrons and positrons having opposite electrical charges, and when they meet, they annihilate one another, with all their mass turning into energy. Storage involves vacuum containers that keep the anti-atoms from touching the sides using magnetic fields. These factors combine to make antimatter the world’s most expensive substance.
Uses for Antimatter
Scientists would not go to the trouble of making this substance if it did not have some potential uses. Antimatter has the greatest energy density of any possible fuel, meaning that it has the potential to release more energy per unit weight than any other substance. Since it takes even more energy to produce antimatter than can be obtained from it, it is not a solution to the planet’s energy problems; however, it has been proposed as a possible future rocket fuel, as, in theory, it could accelerate a payload to a substantial fraction of the speed of light. For the moment, though, its main interest to scientists lies in what it can reveal about the laws of physics.
