It makes one more assured when bidding blind, but no, it does not make the coin more valuable.........
Agreed 100% and if more collectors did just as Green stated ....CAC and other companies as such wouldn't have a reason to exist .
VF 20 seems high. I am at F-15. These grading standards must have loosened while I was in sleep chamber hibernation. But a great key date.
I'm not at VF20 on that coin. The obverse might get there, but the reverse does not. No idea why CAC stickered it.
I would expect to pay $35 more than retail for that "GreenBean", and the coin to retain that "value"! JMHO
I think it's net graded. Obverse lower than 15 reverse 20-25, + newer PCGS holder= gradeflation. Green bean don't mean a thing. I need to correct that last sentence, the green bean only adds value to the dealer selling it, not when they are buying. Hey, what do I know I'm just a tramp on this street.
