Why are people bidding so high on this bullion coin with a hole in it?

    That's not a hole---it's the moon. Are these 1/2 oz silver coins really worth that much? Seems high to me.

    LOL, sure it's a hole, but just on one side. LOL

    Probably the "single year run" that's getting them.

    I see some things which may drive traffic...

    1) It's a .5 oz. but some are thinking it's a full oz. ?
    2) Many people have him as a "favorite seller" and so money isn't the issue ?
    3) Good presentation skills ?
    4) Creative advertising with good story and photo ?
    5) Starting an auction at one cent allows more participation which drives the competetive juices in people ?
    6) Paranoia that silver will double in price on Monday ?
    7) Some of the above ?

    I bought and still have a sheet of 10 of those that I bought at FUN when they were new.

    The dealer (I don't remember who) had stacks of the 10 piece sheets.

    I bought them more as a novelty than anything else and remember paying a very small premium over melt.

    My crystal ball was in the shop that day.

    I wonder where that hole leads to? It clearly isn't the other side.

    At first glance it looked like a hole, till I zoomed in...
