<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2637670, member: 71723&quot;]1) I&#039;m of two minds on this. In the market sense, it would be silly to not realize that CAC beans do help bring higher bids. They are the market&#039;s &quot;second opinion&quot;, maybe third. In the more meta sense, is not the raw coin, the slabbed coin, and the beaned slabbed coin, still the SAME COIN? I maintain if it&#039;s the same coin, it has the same value. Ultimately the only opinion that counts is mine when I&#039;m buying - not Salzberg&#039;s, and not Albanese&#039;s. Just because a slabbed coin doesn&#039;t have a bean, doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not superior - it probably was never sent to CAC. The vast majority of what I buy is raw. I get hundreds slabbed by NGC and I have never even once sent any coin to CAC.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Scroll down the linked table to the three rows of 1909-S VDB listings. Your answer is there. One row each for RD RB and BR. Don&#039;t assume the percentage difference is constant. It&#039;s not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
