[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 1809303, member: 20480"]Excellent post Doug. There are many cases like this one, and potential buyers need to understand the dynamics that play into the establishment of value. In the case of the high flyer in your example, I have to wonder if there's another overlooked attribute that better accounts for the price than temporary insanity . . . perhaps a very special die variety known only to a select few specialists? As one's awareness of the scarcity of a particular issue becomes more acute, so does one's tolerance of the need to expend more resources to acquire that targeted issue. I recall when I was considered nuts by others for offering $500 apiece for superb Gem BU 1976-P Type 1 Ike Dollars back in . . . get this . . . 1990. I was never offered any, but I was willing to pay. We all have our weaknesses, and often realize the need to back up our resolve with dollars.[/QUOTE]
