How about Lafayette? That is a rare one, impossible to obtain. I have a .87 gram piece:

Told it is worth about $10,000...

Any takers?

Hello,
 
I know we have discussed that before, but Adam I still have to disagree
with you.
 
Yes, Martians and Lunars are still high priced now, but not at all as high
as they were, and it is still a novelty thing. Some day people will realize
that they are not rare any more. Just look at the Met Bulletin:
Lunar: Total 131, non-Antartica: 101
Martian: Total 92, non-Antartica: 70
And they don't sell, I still have a bunch of them, I have lowered the
prices twice in the past, and I would gladly get rid of them if I got a
reasonable offer.
 
On the other hand, look at the truly rare ones: Aubres, Orgueil (fragment,
not dust!), Lodran, Winona,..... yes, historical pieces, and nearly
impossible to get. And truly expensive.
 
My two non-lunar cents.
