Mark, In all fairness, you picked a coin that has a population of 2/23 in XF40 to criticize the grading and CAC approval. For coins of this...
You have me a little confused. Are you collecting a series or building a type set? You stated you want 1 each of 6 coins but only listed 4...
Don't take this the wrong way, but IMO, you have it backwards. I never have a sum of money that I go looking to spend on coins. I find a coin I...
For someone who seems to dislike an argument, this post seems sure to start one.
I did not know that. It would explain why they are much more conservative with the FS designation than PCGS though.
I wasn't aware that the side steps are a factor in the FS designation.

If you are going to pass on all CAC stickered coins, you are going to be missing out on many really nice coins. You guys can bash the CAC all you...
As a reference, I would like to post an ASE that is for sale by the same seller I bought these coins from. Keep in mind that this is one coin...
CAC Stickers (see example in photo below). [IMG] Sorry, I don't own a CAC gold sticker.
American Silver Eagle
Depending on the quality of the toning: between $75-$100 at auction. I bought them at as a lot of 5. If sold individually, my guess is they...
