<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 2611342, member: 73104&quot;]I am curious of members opinions as to why supposedly rare coins, such as many of the Carson City Seated Halves, are in such abundance but the asking/start bid prices so high?&nbsp; For example, eBay lists thirty nine 1872cc halves, all with what I consider high prices.&nbsp; In comparison, looking at sold items for a Philadelphia Mint 1841, not only have very few changed hands, but one fetched just a smidgeon over a hundred dollars.&nbsp; Is this a case of people paying too much for something that in reality is not so rare, and then trying to re-sell at a correspondingly high price?&nbsp; Or is this a case of many of the price reference guides being out to lunch?&nbsp; Or am I not noticing something?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
