<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 1100923, member: 5629&quot;]It all depends on the buyer.&nbsp; If I were in the market and buying, a coin &quot;certified&quot; by CAC would in no way command a higher price from me.&nbsp; But, you actually have collectors that do, in fact, buy the plastic (and sticker) and not the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you need to determine is if the coin has appeal to you and you will feel satisfied with spending the amount of money you would potentially need to spend to get the coin that resides inside the plastic. However, if you are trying to purchase for the sake of making a &quot;quick buck&quot;, then the fact you asked the question to begin with shows that you should not be trying to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even as a collector, though, there is always the nagging in the back of the mind worrying about whether or not the some day you may be able to recoup the money spent if and when needed. As mentioned, it all depends on the individual coin (and thus, &quot;Buy the coin, not the plastic&quot;).&nbsp; There are coins that do not have the &quot;CAC approval&quot; sticker that are much nicer than junk with the little green (or gold) bean.</p><p><br /></p><p>As well, there are CAC&#039;d holders that most definitely hold &quot;Premium Quality&quot; coins.&nbsp; The fact that the seller is even considering offers shows that the requested BIN is most likely on the high side, and it is likely that the seller may be considering even as low as a 15% premium for the &quot;CAC&#039;d&quot; holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, in the end, it is all up to what you like and what you are willing to pay to get what you want.&nbsp; That&#039;s basic economics.&nbsp; If the seller cannot deliver what you want for the price you want, then you have the option to simply pay more, or keep looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
