They need to send in a certain amount of coins to ensure that they get the 70's they are looking for. Same goes for the dealers, I guarantee some of them have regular customers who won't go through the hassle of playing the Mint or Ebay game and just have a regular dealer who provides them with all the coins they need. If they need to get 50 SP70 graded coins to sell, they will likely have to send in 20% more then that to accommodate for the 69's.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just a few reasons Ebay will command higher prices, plus unless you are buying a "mint sealed unopened" coin from Ebay, more then likely you will be getting someones reject, might be missing the OGP etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>So anyone care to take a stab at how many were sold today?

I'd guess to say they sold around 25,000~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
