  Thats what I thought when I saw it at $200. It seems a little ridiculus to me.

  You mean like what is on this Ike for over $250?

  the coins were started at 99 cents with no reserve.
  
  the bidders bid what they felt was a fair price.
  
  maybe what's "stupid" is second guessing someone else's collection.

  I think you misinterpretted *stupid* money (or, maybe you didn't).
  Never said it wasn't what someone was willing to pay....but it is WAAAAYYYYY up there for that type of coin (I have a few toned SAEs, but not toned like that, so I knew it would go higher...THAT much higher was amazing).
  
  If the bidder is well off, more power to him. I would do that too, if I won the lottery.

  I'm guessing purchase price was $40 or less.
  Maybe closer to $25.
  
  I wonder about the toning though.....

  I have to say better than 50% of brown box Ikes that I've seen looked like that one...
