<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhaugh, post: 1878481, member: 36379&quot;]I don&#039;t think you&#039;re missing anything, I just think you&#039;re looking at the situation differently.&nbsp; </p><p>I don&#039;t think most people are looking for a gold bean (although I&#039;m sure some are).&nbsp; They are submitting their coins to get the grade confirmed by CAC.&nbsp; If it comes back with a gold sticker, you have a few options.&nbsp; Some people will opt to offload the gold sticker coin because it just got a huge premium boost.&nbsp; We all know that green stickers carry a premium, and gold stickers can really bring in the extra bucks.&nbsp; </p><p>Like you mentioned Hotpocket, I would rather have the graded MS67 coin than a MS66 with a gold sticker.&nbsp; So I would fall in the category that would offload the stickered coin and buy the equivalent.&nbsp; But like i said, the buyers of these Gold Bean coins are hoping that that MS66 with a Gold Bean could be a MS67+ or even a MS68 if they resubmit it to a TPG.&nbsp; They are taking a risk, often paying a premium, and hoping it pans out.&nbsp; It&#039;s a gamble.</p><p>The Ike I have that is gold beaned is more of a conversation piece in my collection.&nbsp; It is a starkly undergraded coin, and I got it for a fair price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
