Sure is! Beats being "surrounded by billows of azure and amethyst..."

 

Here is the GSC coin I had on my watch list. Pretty coin and tough to find nice but I was quite a bit under the $406 hammer as I assume it came from a details slab at one point: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-Isabe...MSNwUzUerbFOacqFQUUnE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

 

I thought beans were the magical fruit, though.
Anything magical has to be good.

 

I always thought they were the musical fruit. Or they’re good for your heart. The rest of the ditty is pretty much the same

 

I own several green beans but no golds as of yet. I’m afraid to pay up for one because the premiums seem to be more for the rarity of the sticker versus the actual coin. In the long term I would worry about them being replaced by another fad. I would only buy one if the coin by itself was worth the money.

 

Rather new to more serious coin collecting, but if a Green CAC means it lies in the upper half of that grades population, then we have a surety that it'll be 50 - 99% of that 61 Mint State.

As far as the Gold CAC, the thought is that the MS60 coin should retrieve 80 - 90% of the next higher grade, or MS61. So...

Green - 50 - 99% of MS61, 80 - 99% ☆
Gold - 80 - 90% of MS61, 80 - 90% x

If the argument is making the most money from the bean color, you could pay modestly more for a MS61 Green CAC'd coin than a MS61 non-CAC'd coin.

Converesly, you could pay much more for a MS60 Gold CAC'd coin than for a MS60 non-CAC'd coin.

Just a first time commenter.
