<p>[QUOTE=&quot;torontokuba, post: 1988123, member: 56793&quot;]The coins do look very nice, but, are still just circulated examples. Anything that is not super rare, resembles regular coin circulation that can be found on raw coins or just regularly slabbed, if one takes the time to search.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, your market is so saturated with slabbed defects, that some feel they need that green bean opinion. I think it&#039;s diminishing to the status of the little green sticker, if circulation pieces like some of these have to have one, right down to G4 or PO1.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, the coin speaks for itself, it has been slabbed, you can&#039;t do anything else with it to increase its value, so, you resort to an external sticker gimmick, devised to raise the price for indecisive believers.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Some of those who call themselves Numismatists, Dealers, Experienced, etc., shouldn&#039;t they be working on their own reputations by having selected beautiful examples for their inventory, collections, customers, all by themselves? Is the green bean just a quick cheat for a Numismatist, Dealer or Experienced individual who simply lacks the experience?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>In one instance (my first time looking), where a couple of CT members bothered to check, it was possible to get a nicer MS coin, for less than what a circulated AU with the green bean gimmick was going for. There was even a choice between several MS grades, after just a quick search.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a real shame. Can&#039;t wait to see what the next level of professionally overdone reassurance and price pumping brings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
