Really? Dang, I guess I've been doing it wrong all these years. Maybe I've just been lucky instead of smart in that after 20 years in the market...
I've rarely found that to be true in my investing. Usually, the higher the risk the greater potential for loss, and thats as far as it usually...
I would use CAC...if I were blind and couldn't plainly see for myself if a coin was high or low for the designated grade. Aside from that, to me...
Next time they do that I'd ask to see one of their best non-slabbed coins, then I'd do what they did. Maybe they'll see they error of their ways. Guy

The design and history, in no particular order.
Hate to break it to you, but you'll be just as bad off. Gold and silver is just as fiat as paper. The value is in the belief it has value, nothing...
