What RZ said...and it is the last of the Saints chronologically that is easily obtainable before scarcity hits with the 1929's and beyond.
As I understand it, the CAC bean is saying whether the coin is attractive to CAC/JA given the grade on the slab. If your MS-66 is a middling 66...
How do you come to that conclusion ? I'm not saying you are wrong, there is clearly more $$$ at stake in a higher-graded and/or rarer year/mint...
Did you end up buying the coin ? The cheeks do seem a bit more filled/rounded on the 1st photo.
Plus, it's EASIER to sell....he has the CAC and the COA that goes with it...anybody on the fence about the grade or authenticity now has 2 experts...
What's the FMV for that coin ?
Forget 200 years ago...how about going back 6 years ago ? 15 years ago ? 35 or 45 years ago ? And how many people prior to the 1950's could...

Tom, MD....agree 100% with your posts.
Maybe because the coin has already been graded and they are evaluating that grade that they can process the coin very quickly. If a Saint is...
They don't charge for failed coins ? Wow...surprising. Thought they might charge in either case, and charge more for a bean. They should have a...
I think CAC is worth it for expensive, top-notch coins. Doesn't pay to get it for inexpensive coins, IMO.
I presume we're talking Saints, right ? That gap changes depending on bullion and numismatic interest:...
For some coins, you are going to be dropping 5-figure sums to get them in MS grade. Even AU will be pricey for some years. Treat yourself to an...
That's what makes all the talk about how there is this 'game' more suprising. If you remove the coins, unless you are a good grader and convinced...
Well, there are over 12,000 HR 1907s, with coins costing 5-figures for low-60's MS. Akers has it 32nd and 38th for overall and high-quality...
