Am I missing something, or does this happen a lot?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Gox doesn't have the fastest database so when the last price is bumping the daily high, the actual daily high value doesn't seem to get updated immediately. It seems to happen fairly often.

Alright, thanks. Seeing a trade above $12.20 nearly made me jump out of my seat. Mods feel free to delete this thread then, respect to Gox Smiley

I remember something about this possibly being something to do with the daily high exchange rate on other markets.  e.g., the BTC/GBP converted to BTC/USD using the GBP/USD causes a BTC/USD that can be higher than what the BTC/USD market's daily high was.
