Super Bowl 58 Coin Used in Chiefs' OT Win vs. 49ers Put Up for Auction by NFL
NFL Auctions has put the used game coin from Super Bowl LVIII—which famously was flipped ahead of overtime to determine which team received the ball first—for sale on its website.
At the time of publication, there were 34 bids, with the highest coming in at $20,100. The bidding will close on Feb. 28, and the proceeds will support Luna Strong's Maui relief efforts.
The San Francisco 49ers won the toss and chose to receive. That wound up being a controversial decision since the new overtime rules in the playoffs allow both teams to receive the ball even if the first team scores a touchdown.

That meant the Niners gave Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs the ball second, knowing exactly what they would need to either continue the game or win it outright. The Chiefs did just that, following up San Francisco's field goal with a game-winning touchdown in the 25-22 victory.
San Francisco's reasoning was that if the game remained tied after the first two possessions, it would have the first crack at winning the contest with any score on the third possession. It was a logically sound strategy, though it ultimately backfired.
The discourse that followed that pivotal decision makes the coin used ahead of overtime a particularly interesting piece of memorabilia.
