Gold coins were a popular gift for birthdays and Christmas. During Christmas shopping time, people would go to their bank and request a nice gold coin for a gift and the bank would give them a gold coin with a small cardboard box that were covered in gold colored foil with a recess for a G$2.5 or a G$5. This was long before gift cards were an option.

I know in my mind and I think in the mind of other collectors, any higher end coin without a sticker at a venue or dealer with a reasonable audience, has already been tried. There is just too much money on the table to not send it. Unless, like others have said, it is absolutely fresh.

Personal example:

Purchased a fresh rattler 1798 $5 AU55 from a small estate auction. It brought $42k. I sent to CAC and it was denied. I auctioned it through Stacks at a major sale and it realized $28k. (Buyer dipped it and got it into 61 CAC and sold for $108k….still sour about that)

They were not impressed - maybe another time??

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we are investigating and taking the appropriate actions.
