Nice set! I saw so many scuzzy and worn war nickels as a kid, I've acquired a great appreciation for them in mint condition.
$400 even.
You also have to remember CAC only accepts PCGS and NGC coins. People looking to get that green bean won't waste their time or money on ICG or ANACS.
Good God, lay off. You are making a hefty assumption about another person on a forum you have never met. Not only was it not good enough for you...

AU-58. Some interesting things going on with this one. ;)
I got lucky as a kid, as it was the owner of an antique store in town who got me hooked on the hobby. However, most antique stores in my area...
