Here is a neat coin currently listed on eBay...I don't think it is worth the $3,999.00 starting price though!

Here are a few more examples-

I just noticed that the third example listed in the link was the same coin, the price has actually dropped...he wanted $7,999.99 in 2011

He also seemed to have cleaned it a bit further. I could see it fetch 1500$ at a reputable auction house.
