  No...please don't draw attention to that coin.... Someone has already topped my 20K bid - just warming up!

  By the way, the coin is kind of ugly in person. The 15 spots on the obverse are areas of metal eating crud.
  
  If unique, who cares. If there really are 2-3, wait for a better speciman.

  After, or during? And is "numismatic" needed?

  If you own a few mules already and want people to think this is what they are worth, it's a very good investment.
