No!!! They can not do that even by 10 KG, calculating just 600 euro per kg, has cost a minimum 6, 000 Euros !!! : O I thought that the bigger they were the ones to 1 kg. Never more than one will be able to sell a single piece so expensive !!!

I wonder if this kind of coin will have a numismatic ( not a premium, artificial rarity plus value ) value in 150 years
