<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 474270, member: 6036&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t have a very good answer... but what the heck. I&#039;ll take a shot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One possibility is someone thinks the high $$$ coins will upgrade to 66 or above. I doubt that&#039;s it, though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From the merits of the coins themselves, the only thing exceptional about the high-priced coins is color and luster.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The most expensive NGC and PCGS coins both have fabulous glow-in-the-dark luster.&nbsp; The $9200 NGC has an amazing golden-apricot color. All this judging from photos; no telling what they look like in hand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The highest priced PCGS, a princely $11,500, has an unmistakable nick in a very prime focal area - the cheek. I&#039;m surprised it sold so high.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There appears to be a slight premium for PCGS, but that doesn&#039;t account for the high prices. The census indicates fewer PCGS coins in 65 vs NGC.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe those that sold for higher prices just have unreal eye appeal in hand. That&#039;s my best bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
