You've probably heard that Edison made them, but none were ever issued. This is probably your only chance to own one, and it's a gem... Matrix 888, Cavalleria Rusticana, an operatic duet by Destinn & Gilly. The original is in E condition (or better).
The "puny" 10" disc is pictured just to show size.
$100 shipped in the continental USA.

So wait, were ANY 12" discs ever issued? I've never seen one but that doesn't mean much. My W&M console has a 12" option but I've started thinking that's for when the adapter is installed. Never seen a 12" diamond disc until now...

IIRC, there were no standard groove 12" Diamond Discs available to the general public. There were salesman's sample discs with excerpts of 5 records on each side. I think there are 13 or 14 different, all rare because they were only sent to dealers. Also, 6 12" long play discs were released. These are considerably harder to find than the 10' long plays, especially in playable condition.
Here's one of the sample discs:
