<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 399093, member: 6036&quot;]There might be more than one reason why they do that. Perhaps RLM&#039;s thinking is part of it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Why are the prices unrealistically high ?&quot; is tightly coupled with &quot;Why have a price guide at all ?&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that submitters must declare a coin&#039;s value when submitting. Why ? To have an <b>insured value for return shipping</b>. That&#039;s one reason to have a price guide.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Placing a high value there is wise; in the unlikely event your coins are lost, you&#039;re happy. Don&#039;t be underinsured.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>High values are also &quot;fail safe&quot;; in a period of rising values, they don&#039;t want the price list to become obsolete overnight. Keeping &#039;em high covers &#039;em and allows a longer period between revisions. This is much less important than other reasons, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
