Did you guys notice the prices paid for two 1912 proofs at the auction last night? This half and quarter appeared to be really nice. I didn't buy either but was closely following the auction. What drove the prices so high? Color/Holder/CAC/Freshness/All of these? Any one attribute more than another?

    Barber Half

    Barber Quarter

    Edit: I would say it is because of the color mainly...there are a LOT of people on these forums that drive around with RAINBOW STICKERS on their bumpers. But it likely has to do with Holder, CAC, and Population/Rarity as well.
