Top Pop for registry points likely bought by a multi-millionaire or billionaire to whom $6k is like $6 to you and me.

Maybe just the moon, the reason they paid moon money.

I wouldn't pay $6 for that coin. There are people that feel there is real value in having a top registry set, so they don't care what the coin inside is. I rather feel that the best piece of crap is just a really nice piece of crap.
Rest in Peace

Now for the umpteenth time, will somebody please design the most necessary emjoi of them all, for instances just like this...what may you ask, but a dancing lollypop emjoi, of course!



Six grand could buy a really nice COMPLETE Morgan set just about, or how about a nice gold type, sheesh!

Because they wanted it. Collectors collect. I know the feeling, just not the budget.

That's often very true for many "luxury brands" too. I realize there are those who buy things just to have the most "exclusive" (expensive) example. I'll never understand that personally, since I could get a lot of great coins for that money.

SpaceMaN is correct...because they wanted it, and could afford it.

Don't know why but it happens.
