A possible photo of Billy the Kid—worth $5M
Back in 2015, an unsuspecting man bought a photo in an antique shop in Freemont, CA for $2. As it later turned out, the picture featured the notorious Billy the Kid and members of the Lincoln County gang playing croquet together. Being only the second confirmed photo of the infamous thief of the 19th century, the 1878 photo was valued upwards of $5 million. "Billy the Kid is incredibly famous," David McCarthy, a senior numismatist at Kagin's (a company that specializes in Western Americana and rare coins) told ABC News. "[But] he wasn't shooting people all the time. He had friends he cared about. He had women he chased. It (the photograph) opens up the idea about the humanity of a character like Billy the Kid."
