    Definitely out of my collecting area, but I got it for $38 and that includes the buyer's commission, the currency conversion fee, the paypal fee and shipping. I think it's a cute little coin!

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    That aint to shabby for 38 bucks delivered! Is the brown stuff solid encrustation or is it dirt?

    Here's mine, I think it was about the same price.

    For $38 delivered, I say worth it. Nice little addition.
    Don't have one to share though

    Nice! These are not expensive coins. The first I purchased for $18 and the second was $44, both including delivery.
