[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2958116, member: 78244"]Are they priced the same? If so, I'd go with the CAC coin as they are likely the same value-wise, and the CAC will sell more easily if needed. Is the CAC coin priced significantly higher? In that case I'd buy neither and wait for one just as nice that is within the going rate. Is the CAC coin priced within the going rate for an EF-40 (ignoring the sticker). I'd go with the CAC one for obvious reasons. But this is all based on holder/sticker/price, which is NOT the only way you should buy coins. Judge the coin itself, not the holder its in. CAC usually does a good job in spotting solid, accurately-graded coins from those that aren't, but I have seen a few that I disagreed with. I (somewhat cynically) believe CAC stickers just give a dealer permission to charge significantly more for a coin because there is a very common misconception that the sticker means it is higher than the assigned grade. And there is absolutely no chance of it being overgraded?[/QUOTE]
