[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3436704, member: 73489"]Yup, I get it. What is surprising is that I can understand this approach on low-priced stuff like regular Silver Certificates. If someone pays $150 for a SC that is really only worth $100 or $50, it isn't going to break them. So I can see someone who isn't a regular currency collector paying way over market. However...on more expensive stuff....where you are only going to get committed collectors, I still see stuff way over FMV. High-denomination notes, Gold Certificates, etc -- I see stuff costing $1,000 - $15,000 -- and it's way over recent sales or listed price. So you wonder who they are banking on to take it off their hands. Nobody is buying a graded Gold Certificate costing thousands for a bday or graduation present.
