<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1419543, member: 15309&quot;]If you need an analogy I will give you one.&nbsp; I am a very experienced and strong swimmer.&nbsp; If I decide to go swimming in the pool in my backyard, I don&#039;t think, I just jump right in.&nbsp; If I decide to go swimming in the ocean off a boat 5 miles off shore, I will consider wearing a life jacket.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are dealing with $100 coins, you will never need a CAC sticker.&nbsp; But what if you decide to buy a premium gem full head SLQ.&nbsp; I collected them briefly but that does not mean that I have the requisite grading skills to be able to differentiate incremental grades.&nbsp; So when buying one of these, I would look for one with a CAC sticker.&nbsp; It is perfectly reasonable and the cost of the TPG grading and CAC verification is a drop in the bucket compared to the actual cost of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone needs to realize that most of us (including myself) wade around in the shallow end of the numismatic pool.&nbsp; When you get to the deep end where coins cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, it isn&#039;t sad, it is prudent.&nbsp; And there are plenty of newbies who spend tens of thousands of dollars on coins, they just don&#039;t waste their time pontificating about it on Cointalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
