At what consignment amount do you ask the auction house for a percentage over hammer?

Assuming a handful of better value coins, vs a hoard of many cheaper ones.
$50,000?
Higher...lower?

The ask is free. The real question is when will they give it and that isn't usually a fixed number. To your point, five $10,000 coins would probably get 5%. But it really depends on what it is and how badly they want the consignment as well as your history with them. I know regulars that get 5% on everything they consign.
If I had some real anchor coins that benefits the both of us
if you have some doubt that you might get over hammer, go to a top-quality dealer and the doubt will cease. He/she will get that for you
At one dollar!! ALWAYS ask for the points! It never hurts to ask, after all - all they can say is "no".

Are you saying no seller's commission and a percentage of the buyer's commission?
Yes
Sure, but what kind of deal is available at different consignment levels. Doing some estate planning and don't figure that the auctioneers will be overly generous to the uninformed heirs.
Maybe I'll just direct them to Pawn Star Rick.
