<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26449077, member: 153164&quot;]For your first paragraph, I agree that $500 is WAY too much for that coin. I think a PR55 bids at $100, so I&#039;d likely pay that, but if I have to drop five hundred on a proof in this date, give me a PR64 RD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard quite mixed opinions of Heritage. Simply the fact that they charge a 20% buyer&#039;s premium is enough to make me pass. There&#039;s been quite a few times I&#039;ve been angry with the 10% (check/money order) fee on GC, since of course I try to get the coins at or below Greysheet. In the matter of the 1797 dime, I couldn&#039;t fathom selling it for $9600. I think CDNs are $6500/8100, give or take a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>GC is generally the main place I buy slabbed coins, but for everything else, I get it from one of 3 places about 90% of the time: coin shops, the 71st Street show (which I often try to set up at), and flea markets when the price is right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then for CAC, I can tell that you disagree with them being known as the best grading service, and I&#039;m with you on it. I&#039;ve owned a few CAC-G coins, one of which was an 1880-S Morgan in MS62 DMPL, and currently a 1982 cent, zinc large date, in MS67 RD. For CAC stickered coins, I currently own one and will be getting another....</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1687291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1687292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1687293[/ATTACH] </p><p>....that I bought since I think it&#039;s a really nice coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s crazy without a doubt, but sadly I think about everyone in coin auctions does that. On GreatCollections, I think someone could&#039;ve bid $260.01 and got it - as long as it was more than the previous bid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
