Publicity, marketing, psychology, reputation - that sort of thing. The PCGS blurb calls it "the highest priced U.S. coin for its rarity." Like the...

Ask them why is it so cheap then? and see what entertaining story they come up with. Funny, suddenly I have to register in order to see listings...
I don't see it listed at Cuds on Coins, maybe you should submit it. https://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-spike-heads-1950-1959/
@Cazador has about the same likes per post (lpp) as I do, at 1.76 lpp. That's the metric to use! @lordmarcovan has a whopping 2.61 lpp, but he's...
On the cost of grading, it can be done cheaper than stated. If you have 5 coins to grade, $16 each at ANACS plus $36 return shipping so $23.20 per...
I don't recall seeing any sort of template. In many cases use the reverse. Here the memorial is "level"; on Indian Head cents "one cent" is level...

Here are mine. Many collectors don't know that there were two reverse hub types used for 1903-S dimes. An extra fold was added to the right ribbon...

Both minted in 1948. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I remember as a kid thinking if I just stared at this one hard enough, a dot might magically appear....
I pass right over them too but I think some sellers are just lazy and think everyone trusts the slab so who cares. Deliberately juiced photos are...
My father had a $5 Indian from his father. I only saw it once or twice. No one knows what happened to it. Neither of my siblings would have taken...
It seems like it would be so much easier to just steal the NGC photos and then ship the buyer junk in a junk slab. @Adavis$$ if you're that...
