<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2191722, member: 26302&quot;]I would rather own the coin that is most pleasing to me ignoring what others say about it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The problem with a CAC versus non-CAC discussion is you have no idea of the non-CAC is lacking it due to quality or lack of submission. Similarly, you don&#039;t know if the XF is an old XF that might upgrade today to AU.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, I ignore all of them and buy what I like and what pleases me. Hopefully if it pleases me when I am dead my wife will find someone else it pleases.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit: Kind of embedded in my &quot;coin that is most pleasing to me&quot; phrase I just used was the assumption I have been around coins for close to 40 years now. I sure wouldn&#039;t advocate an absolute beginner to only trust his untrained eye. My old eyes, (seriously, in a year or two I will need reading glasses), take into account many, many things a new collector wouldn&#039;t. I just wished to clarify that, and not advocate a new collector to spend thousands on whatever they felt like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
