  I would think one of the low grade strawberry leaves would smoke that.

  That's kind of a tough answer, there's four of them and they don't sell super frequently.

  For the record, the last time one sold it was just under $900,000. F-12 graded coin. That specific coin hadn't been for sale in over 60 years before surfacing in 2004, and then again in 2009. Two of them have sold in the last 27 years.
  
  Perhaps John K. could weigh in on others.
  
  This one also comes to mind because it was just so cool.

  Valuable yes, but I just cant see paying big money for a reeded edge that doesn't have a reeded edge? It would bug me more owning THAT coin than having the gap in my collection.

  The platinum pattern is one of my favorite coins of all time, even though it's kind of ugly.

  That was exactly my first thought as well. I think the last circulated 1894-S dime that sold came close to that price too.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
