can someone explain why this went so high? I don't have my Grellman book in front of me so can not tell if its one of the rarer ones. http://www.ebay.com/itm/XF-EF-to-AU...refresh=true

Could be. I'm at work and have no references at the moment.

Even with Newcomb and Grellman at hand the coin and its die state make attribution difficult (not like 1851 was easy to begin with)

I keep coming back to N-24 and N-27 (R3 and R5 respectively) but without the coin in hand to look for the die lines it is difficult...might be completely off base on those guesses, though.

1851 even confused Newcomb, as Grellman noted in the 2005 Reiver sale (N-24, N-27, N-32 all mixed up, and N-32 later delisted)

Well you got me. There were only two bidders above the $11 mark. Maybe it was an ego battle, or else they saw something nobody else did. It doesn't even make EF imo, and a LDS at that
