Here's a comparison to how he usually signs, that is awful.
Yeah. If he isn't in the mood to do a signing then he should just say no.
Obviously people cherish their Collectables and for him to not realize that and put a little more effort into something like this that people paid for is pretty rude.

Take a piece of paperWrite your name
Todays date
And the items you are selling
List on paper and then take that paper with the items and take a pictureThis will provide validity that the items are in your possession.
These special Items are not available right in the United States because of rarities and all these are really belongs to me and up to you believe me or not over there
My suggestion is for you or any serious buyers to take flight to my third world country and then have face to face for dealing with me is highly recommended for safety
However not rushing to sell these high valuable items ever since for the Gold price is rising everydays

If as nice as you claim then you must use the walk through option!Ensure to tighten the screws on case as much as possible. That will ensure the grader knows it's been stored properly all these years in an old school case with minimal exposure to air.
Most of all my sincere wish of Good Luck on what seems will be a near certain life changing cash windfall.
The OP did nothing but come here with a legitimate question, and your mockery post is the kind of thing that will run off people that come here looking for help, which is all he did.

How long did it take to collect all those ?
It’s easy to remember- in March 2020 when Covid struck I owned not a single gold coin, so it’s been a new direction over the last four years.
Re: Dime size penny?
Man-made alteration/magicians coin – not an error coin of any kind or type, Sorry to say.

Believe it or not, for many of us, CAC stickering has made the hobby BETTER AND more fun!
Steve
More collectors have had the liquidity of their collections impacted by not having sticker than have benefited from a god level grader cherry picking the market preference out of the masses. Yes the 1% buyers out there have saved from not making as many mistakes but even then they paid a price by not having the lessons trust upon them those mistakes mandate to the quick to learn. Maybe one doesn’t want to live and learn but the hobby is about living and learning and not just competition or investing.
I say this as a fan of CAC but it is a marketing tool that has benefited dealers way more than collectors. Just those of us used to be able to pick A coins out of the masses and get them for retail has dramatically dried up. Combined with the ability to sell C coins for competitive % of retail is also now an uphill battle. Those are not collector benefits
Why is it not a collector benefit for them to be able to avoid the C coins that you appear to want to sell them?
CAC benefits collectors far more than dealers.
You have never sold anything but A+ coins. I would bet more than you could afford that you have sold more meh coins than I have ever owned. I am not a dealer and learned to grade over many speed bumps. Besides what I collect, many issues are simply not out there with A+ levels of preservation since they have been collectible for generations and having been processed by too many transactions not to have been fiddled with. Fresh is market slang meaning that it hasn’t been through too many dealers hands after all.
The whole construct that patina as a trait that deserves a price multiplier due to increased rarity is an attrition metric and any dealer knowns imparting scarcity is the key to adding value post procurement. Just as FBLs is a marketing schtick meant to impart scarcity/superiority to add value to otherwise common stuff. CAC is a pay more identifier in a market that the vast majority is simply trying to get their widgets to stand out. That helps dealers charge 50$ more for a nicely graded 81s dollar, I don’t think it adds much value to a choice AU58 61d dollar.
Of course CAC has helped pull some problems out of the market and a few collectors with the means have used it as a invaluable learning tool, but looked at on a pure number transactions base it has been used by dealers to maximize their inventory as a value add to charge more for other wise the same coins. Paying more for some random dealers 81s isn’t some blessing to collectors. And while paying 50$ more for a not bad 81s might be preferable to many newbs opposed to paying retail for an overgraded example, there were plenty of not bad 81s transacted before CAC. The detriment CAC has brought to collectors is the bad ones are still priced now closer to CAC’ed levels at the middle of the market and the collector’s good 81s not stickered is assumed bad or at best needing grading. Also not a blessing to collectors.

I see many NON CAC coins on GC go for high prices. And some CAC coins not bringing much premiums as well.
There are always going to be outliers but in general higher priced coins with a sticker sell for more money than non stickered coins.
