<p>[QUOTE="silvercowboy72, post: 1207234, member: 28647"]I felt "uneasy" because of the volume of "green label" coins. This just struck me odd. Not the fact that they were 99% PCGS, not the fact that 99% of them had a CAC sticker, and not the fact that they were 80% old green labels. It was a strange sight. The whole showcase was very uniform. There were hardly any NGC, barely none without a CAC sticker, and even fewer that were blue labels. I understand that some people consider the old green label to be more appealing or more sought after, but I felt uneasy about this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me paint a better picture. I was looking for a 1884 MS 65 Morgan. They were all stacked one on top of another. I can not remember if there were five or six. I asked to view their selection, preferring to purchase a NGC coin.

Is the CAC sticker worth this premium? I am not not sure. I do not believe it to be. I am a numbers guy. No NGC coins? No coins without a CAC sticker?
