[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3526809, member: 101855"]Giving you really definitive answers to your question is almost impossible for me without knowing what the coin is and either seeing photos of it or better yet, seeing the coin in person. For run of the mill coins, getting excited over an exceptional AU-58+ CAC might not be warranted. There might well be other coins out there that are just as nice that can be had for less money. If, on the other hand, the coin is hard to find, or frequently seen with eye appeal issues, paying a premium might be warranted. I would never pay a premium for a coin just because it is unique in the grade, unless it’s THE or among the finest known. The fact that two professional graders have given it a CURRENTLY unique grade, means nothing to me. Eye appeal and availability of other examples are the keys here. YOU really have to like it to pay the extra money. Don’t be swayed by advice from others that this is somehow a great deal if YOU are not comfortable.[/QUOTE]
