An Ike with a CAC green bean or an Ike in a CAC slab? Everything else equal.

PCGS Green Bean,,,,,, by far.
With zero authority on the matter, all things being the same, it seems to me harder to get a CAC green bean than a CAC slab.
That would be more desirable to me—a greenhorn impression.
Aesthetically the CAC slab is attractive, but the bean makes its slab interesting because of its layered history.
I lean toward the bean.
It still comes down to the coin?
I would think, that in the future, when CAC stops stickering slabs............CAC stickered slabs will command a premium

I think a CAC stickered coin wins, largely because it represents grading opinions from two different highly respected grading companies (CAC and either NGC or PCGS) as opposed to one (CACG).

Okay well, now that that is answered here comes the next question. Thanks by the way
that was much easier than what I was researching in terms of asking prices on the bay trying to figure out the best way to go. So I appreciate the feedback.
It seems I'm at a crossroad though with the Kennedy series. PCGS is lacking in the TV dept. and CAC doesn't sticker these.
So, the obvious next question: Which is worth more a Kennedy in PCGS or in a CAC slab? My assumption is that these are priced the same even when CAC is a grade lower. Not sure if that is true but they have great photos (no pun) that represent the coin well regardless of the grade.
Send your Kennedy's to QA Check for evaluation. They are to Moderns as CAC is to older coins.
Rather than make assumptions about pricing, I’d research it.

Gary knows Ikes.
I trust you on this
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
Reassurance, then even better - Thanks!
Apparently tuition comes in all forms. I didn't realize CAC beaned Ikes until recently or I would have sent these in before selling them. Any chance that these would have passed???

@Coinscratch I'm not good enough at grading business strike Ikes to answer that, but statistically you might have expected 2-4 beans on a group of 7 coins.
Here are a couple that I got beaned in a recent CAC submission. I love how PQ the MS68 silver strikes can look—I've had decent success at CAC with those.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Yes, they can come very nice @PocketChange and the "ask prices" I'm seeing on one like yours above (S) 600 - 1,200.
Time to rethink my strategy.
Is there a reason why they don't bean Kennedys?
