I pointed this out elsewhere in this comment thread, but resurfacing here since it's perhaps not as clear as it should be: The attack cost is based on the the extrapolated cost of attacking the given coin based on the current hashing price on nicehash. If < 100% of the necessary hashing power is available via nicehash, it's greyed out, and the nicehash-able column shows a value of < 100%.

Another caveat: It's potentially cheaper to attack these coins than the number shown on this site since you receive block rewards from the time period when you attack a coin. In a lot of cases this will recover a majority of the money you spend on the attack. That said, this isn't guaranteed, and you are forced to put up this amount of money in order to carry out the attack.
