<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan Saltis, post: 8448673, member: 103066&quot;]Him and I seemed to agree on this topic.</p><p>The market ebbs and flows, and eventually the pendulum will swing in the other direction and blast white will be en vogue again. I like blast white, but I won&#039;t touch over-dipped coins. The toning market is so damned hot that I won&#039;t touch it with a ten foot pole. The premiums are insane and vary too much for me to feel comfortable pursuing toned coins for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>JA&#039;s comments on the gold sticker interested me more - he was willing to admit that quality coins bring higher prices in the market, but the gold sticker itself gives such a premium that quality coins are selling for multiple grade levels higher. I&#039;m not a CAC denier by any means, but I refuse to pay up very much for a CAC sticker. I&#039;ve owned green beans before, but never a gold. I consider myself a deal chaser - patience is key in my eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>On top of this, JA and a number of other reputable sources have suggested big things are coming in 2023.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure who won the coin, but 24 THOUSAND dollars for what was about a 6 thousand dollar coin really does show the concept of paying forward our hobby holds close to the heart. The tax write-off and lunch with JA himself surely helped. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Witter Coin instagram page live streamed the end of the auction, and you can spot me in the video.</p><p><br /></p><p>Big thanks to the donors and investors allowing young men + women like me to reach out within the community I had only witnessed online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, it was a blessing to have come. Next year, I&#039;m barely eligible but hope the confidence I&#039;ve gained will propel me by leaps and bounds to secure a spot for a second year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, [USER=5372]@charley[/USER] ! Although I may not have as much money put into the hobby, or great items, the things I&#039;ve learned along the way and the research I&#039;ve put in keeps me content with my collection![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
