Nobel also sold the coin in 2009 for 160k + fees
How can a coin full in value by so much when it is such a rarity

I suspect the IAG sale may not have completed. Have you noticed that the wording in the latest sale is word-for-word from the IAG catalogue?

And am I being too picky - emu highpoints worn, star centre worn, light field scratches below F : D - not FDC in my book.

IAG and Legendary are the same entity.

Almost no pre-55 proofs are truly FDC, dealers only seem to knock them to aFDC when they have serious faults.

Beautiful coin, emu has full feathers, I think, star looks nice, for its age cmoooon.
