Let me try.
I think the OP is stating there are many instances collectors complain about saying GSC auctions end with too low bids. The coin(s) sell too cheap.
The OP is now referencing an eBay auction where the coin- in this case, a 1921 MS64 Peace dollar so too inexpensively.
So, it is not just GSC that catches cheap closing bids, but eBay too.
I think that is what the OP means.

OK so I guess I will have to bite since what I thought was obvious clearly is not so far.
There is tremendous irony in how GSC constantly gets HIGH bids on raw coins that are clearly often damaged or cleaned and they get consistently higher than graded coin money for problem coins.
Along comes a listing with what appears to be a legit graded piece with an interesting look, on a coin that has been hot the past couple of years, and they get well below price on what is probably one of their better offerings.
The coin appears to have unattractive toning. Despite the fact that it’s certified, it brought what appears to be a low bid. That’s not surprising given the fact that most buyers want their 1921 Peace Dollars to have bright white luster.
As for the coin, it is one of GSC’s better offerings given the fact that they have often sold pieces that have been “enhanced” in the past.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

agree. considering the seller, it is nice to see decent coins. some may not like the toning but for a 21 peace, that is pretty snazzy, especially if it has nice luster under there.
not to mention, those are some nice images, in a slab, from GSC. what in the world!

GSC slab shots are always decent. Somehow they forget how to take proper images when it comes to raw coins. By design I'm sure.
I don't think $1200 is too cheap for that coin.

I think I am missing the point of this thread...

Don’t cha just love the cigarette burn style toning on the reverse. So attractive 🤮
Yes, that reverse spot is rather distracting and thus a problem for the coin, despite the slab grade.
Would PCGS agree with the grade? Or would it get a questionable color or similar designation?

Collector, occasional seller
Am not a fan of that coin regardless of how it is valued.
