IIRC one auction ended there around.
I was watching it but when it went over $40.00 I stopped bidding.

Poking around a little bit ... Here's a thread from 2003 indicating that
the first RCC medal, the one ember, did sell for $10 when introduced.
It's not clear if they were all sold in this way. But they soon wound up
on eBay, with some hammer prices exceeding $100.

Other threads indicated this bidding frenzy died down, and at least in
the mid-2000s the typical eBay hammer price was $30 to $40.

I acquired mine in a trade with Ian Milne, another former regular here,
someone who I used to tussle with a bit here but who I later became
friendly with. We did several trades.

Among the areas I specialize in are ancient Athenian Owls and their
copies. I also like quirky stuff, and this piece squarely falls into
this realm.
