Someone got Hosed 
My Bid is $20.00 if I can get it before Silver drops again
1995-W $1 Graded by PCGS Realizes $86,654.70; Over 100 Bids Received
Irvine, California – A perfect Silver Eagle graded Proof-70 DCAM by PCGS was sold at auction on March 31, 2013 by GreatCollections, setting a new world record price for the popular modern coin series.
Over 100 bids were received for the unreserved auction, before it finally sold for $86,654.70 (inclusive of the GC 10% buyer's fee). The buyer was an advanced East Coast collector who had been searching for this perfect coin for several years.
"The 1995-W is the ultimate key to the series with the lowest mintage and is notorious for imperfections, explaining the low percentage graded at the perfect Proof-70 DCAM grade," said Ian Russell, President/founder of GreatCollections.
"In addition to the technical points about the coin itself, the general market for Silver Eagles continues to grow at a fast pace... probably faster than any other coin series at the moment."
