    Don't have a book handy and may bid on this...... Your thoughts? Does the CAC make it worth more?

    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 agree.... and I only bid on a key or semi key that is certified and has a 14 day return policy....

    I'm not at VF20 on that coin. The obverse might get there, but the reverse does not. No idea why CAC stickered it.

    It is a vf20 and a nice one. 1921d is renown for a weaker strike.

    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.

    The bean will help bring more bids. I agree with VF-20.

    Just another PCGS over graded coin IMO.

    Overgraded with the CAC sticker? What would Laura Sperber say about that?
