[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 2097237, member: 11854"]I think messydesk gave a great answer. To back up a bit, though, the [I]asking[/I] price on ebay can have relatively little to do with the [I]sales[/I] price of a completed transaction. After all, you can ask whatever you like, but no one has to pay it. OGHs have a strong following and it might be due to aesthetics, scarcity, uniformity or a desire for a certain grading standard. Many of these OGH coins have been kicked around for 15-20 years and the slabs are worse for the experience, the coins may be low end, they may be problem-coins or they might be just plain not too attractive. However, there are also some absolute stunning, incredible gems in these holders, too, and when they surface they are often associated with a far higher price tag than the vast majority would be willing to pay since that price tag might be related to the quality of the coin and not the number on the holder.[/QUOTE]
