[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 25595015, member: 36248"]As someone who has taken hundreds of photos of CAC coins with green and gold stickers, many of the Gold ones have this exact effect / "look" to them. I got so used to in in circa 2014 era that when I saw the OP photo, I was confused why he thought it was a green bean. I think even a normal person, (who has not personally taken the bean photos), CAN easily tell even from the linked photos this is a gold bean, but you really need to LOOK and train your brain for the telltale signs, and not just glance at it like we all tend to do when browsing. Well at least on a large PC monitor you can see the gold fringes around the edges of the sticker, phones I am not sure you can see what I will describe below. This is what I mean, top edge and right edge of sticker are clearly gold foil. [ATTACH=full]1638367[/ATTACH] Green CAC sticker shot at a similar angle look very different, see my coin here: (green top edge) [ATTACH=full]1638368[/ATTACH] Same here, green top edge, Blue lettering: [ATTACH=full]1638371[/ATTACH] Certainly the Cert page is faster and easier than what I am suggesting, but I wanted to give maybe a hint or two to what to look for. TEST YOURSELF, Is this coin Green or Gold Sticker? [ATTACH=full]1638369[/ATTACH] What about this one? [ATTACH=full]1638370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
