<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 741513, member: 13650"]If you're really wondering, there's a couple reasons. First, look at the dates some of the auctions ended. Some of them go back to 2001 or further. All gold will have multiplied several times since then. Always be sure to look at the auction end dates.</p><p><br /></p><p> The other reason is what we talk about here all the time. Quality for the grade. Sometimes there is an ugly stain. Or heavy bag marks. It's still the same grade on the slab.</p><p> Or there's a cleaned one that falls into that AU category. Obviously they sell for much less. So in essence the highest sell prices are for the premium coins for the grade and the most important. From there, be suspicious of why others went so much cheaper. Also keep in mind that there is a 15% "buyer's premium" (for the auction house), factored in to that final price. Whether it matters to what someone paid or not, there's no way to know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
