I see some Gold CACs with an OGH 3.1 with a coin I like and even though it's a stretch I'm thinking of borrowing the $$$ and trying to buy it. I just wonder if I would see all 3 variables -- a coin I like/want, Gold CAC, and OGH -- at FUN 2027. I remember what happened with my 1908 No Motto Saint.
If it's a coin you LIKE or you COLLECT...you did great. It's not just about CAC and an old holder. It's about liking the coin inside. While a few hundred bucks for a coin I am "eh" about isn't a big expenditure, the coins I really am looking to buy (infrequently, when I do) are gold coins in general, specifically Saints. So for me...with gold over $4,000/oz.....I really have to pay up for a coin with CAC and an old classic holder. And to find all 3 things at the same time -- coin I like/want, CAC, and OGH/old holder -- I either have to pounce then or risk not seeing another one for months or even years. Decisions, decisions.....
