...it's crazy how the Auction house didn't send this coin to CAC for their customer prior to selling it??? Money left on the table I suppose...or was it
Why - to use NGC's price guide it was an $125 coin as a 65. As a solid 66 it's a $185 coin... It sold for 3.5K due to the rarity of the holder... what does CAC add to that?
Personally, I believe the seller who consigned to GC purposefully did not submit it to CAC for fear that it either wouldn't sticker, or would get a green sticker. That would have lowered the appeal to a lot of people, who chase the higher grade and gold stickers.
My guess is the gold bean could garner a quicker sale or maybe they'll hook a gold bean collector that needs or really wants an ngc 1 black for their gold bean collection. Otherwise, yeah, kinda pointless in the grand scheme of things.
I would say any Buyer at $4750, would have to be a long time collector, Willing to sit on it! I like it but ,not that much!
