<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 1825087, member: 42727&quot;]I&#039;m in your corner on this one.&nbsp; I do own coins with Green Beans and one with a Gold Bean.&nbsp; I don&#039;t go out of my way to buy CAC&#039;d coins, but don&#039;t ignore them either.&nbsp; I respect what they add to the slabbed market.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen coins with a Green Bean that I wouldn&#039;t buy because I didn&#039;t like the look of the coin.&nbsp; In that instance, I think the bean is saying the coins technical grade is correct.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMO, the Green Bean has become popular in the digital age because of a few factors.&nbsp; 1)&nbsp; JA&#039;s reputation.&nbsp; 2) many purchases are made based solely on a photo and the green bean provides another layer of assurance of the grade. 3) for collectors only, not numismatists, it&#039;s easier.&nbsp; They don&#039;t have to worry about the coin being mis-graded. 4) for the dealer, the coins likely sell faster and for a higher price than their non-bean counterparts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
