1,000,000,000 (1 billion) initial coins
73 initial adopters
so roughly 13.7 Million each (assume equal distribution)
at 21 BTC Total
0.000000021 BTC per coin
current market rate is about 0.0001 (4700x)
To those who are buying these coins now... most of the coins are being hoarded, so you can only buy them on the market for 4700x or 470,000% of what all of the 1 billion coins were paid for at genesis. And people are buying, sadly, without looking at these figures. Remember - all BILLION coins are already out in circulation, and no more will be generated. All BILLION coins were bought originally for 21 BTC in total, or about $4,000 worth.
To give you an idea, someone is selling 1.8M coins (.18% of all coins circulated, that were bought for 21 BTC) for 180 BTC. If this is an early adopter (may not be), then he would have bought the same 1.8M coins for less than .04 BTC, but now is asking 180 BTC in just 1-2 months. Also, BTC is worth 6-7 more now in USD than at genesis.
I LIKE this coin, and its potential, but I don't like the price it's at, and the greed that the price is showing. So PLEASE, stop and check the math out yourself, and ask what this coin is worth.
I recommend new NxTers to stop buying these coins so high, and bringing the price even higher. Wait for some original investors to sell and distribute, and buy them at the dip. Thank you.

The value of NXT has changed significantly as new features are announced and implemented, with the speed that new versions are released and as more money and time is poured into NXT the value is going to increase.
The price disparity from the initial conception to now should be expected. The price may crash, the price may skyrocket, but it is justified that the price is significantly more than at early adoption.
