[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3567938, member: 76194"][ATTACH=full]949554[/ATTACH] You can put a plastic case with a star on that coin all you want, still not $36,000 any way you look at it. Heck, Vcoins even has an AU* for $32,000 less ($4,000) which I think it's an even better coin than the $36,000 one... [ATTACH=full]949556[/ATTACH] Unlike the $36,000 one, this one has a full crest and the flan is a more regular shape. Even the most expensive one on Vcoins, which has perfect 5's and is a full MS in the nicest broadest flan I've ever seen, with full crest and everything, is more than $21,000 cheaper, and I'm sure the dealer will give a decent discount on it if asked. And personally speaking, I'd rather have an MS without the star, but with a nice broad flan and all elements fully present (including the whole crest) for tens of thousands less, than one with a * but an irregular flan and some of the elements of the design cut off.
