<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25643352, member: 36248&quot;]Good question.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am trying to get a full CAC-approved Type set.&nbsp; &nbsp; Submitting to CAC was never about the value to me.&nbsp; &nbsp; It was just so that I had triple stamp of approvals for any coins included in my Type set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meaning, (1) approved by PCGS/NGC (2) approved by me (3) approved by CAC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The end goal of course being sure that my coins are Authentic, problem free, graded within a reasonable range of the assigned grade, and attactive to me in various ways such as toning, circ cameo, blast white, old holders, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>In term of why a VG coin at all, well I have a sub-goal of having 1 coin of each of the numeric grades, from PO01 all the way to MS70.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, in terms of why VG, I am aiming for only coins I can &quot;afford&quot;, so for me that is around $350 per coin max.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; So for this particular Type, the &quot;No Stars&quot; half dime, I need to be in the heavily circulated grades in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certain coin Types, I can afford up to high MS, but for some series, I am down in the very low grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said, the real reason I summitted the above coin, was that I accidentally won it for a low price, and I was already doing I submission so I tossed it in so I could get back CAC grader note in regards to the &quot;Green stuff&quot; and parallel scratches/ adjustment marks.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So the TLDR: I wanted to use this coin as a learning experience with CAC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
