    I guess I get the CAC thing, but rub is rub - 25 years ago or today.

    Looks like an early bidder won this one. Bid was placed 3 hours ahead of the end.

    Seems like the premiums are going up for the older holders....and CAC. Paid less for a real nice ms62 CAC not that long ago.

    It also fits the "everyman" sets, and, a lot of times, the AU58s will go for a premium because of that.

    Not a series I do, but I will ask......how does it look compared to the look of comparables? How about to a nice MS63?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I was watching this too. I thought when it hit $400 it was too much. No extra points for CAC of any color in registry sets. If it’s a crack-out candidate it better comeback 65.

    Wow, it sold for 65 money. That’s some serious premium.

    The coins I overpay for are often the ones that are easiest to sell without loss, later on.
    But, I did not buy this one.

    Gold Cac on a 58 is the most useless informative of all the stickers

    The buyer way overpaid IMO but it’s his money / hobby. I looked at it carefully during the auction and it appears to have some run especially on head dress and possibly reverse. I would never bid above the grade on the Holder!

    The coin is $365 retail $265 Whsl in AU58. What a prime example of the sticker craze! I was going to bid $275 but when I saw it going over $500 I thought unbelievable this is just nuts. This guy bought it way over MS64 money! Possibly some millionaire who collects gold sticker stuff. Hope he enjoys his coin.

    I look at David Kahn eBay offerings often and have bid on / won some but this one has got to make him happy lol.
