65 than 66. >>
I have to agree. I still love the coin, beautiful color.

Not sure if it will get you any more money. Saints in CAC MS65 fetch almost the same money as generic 66's. CAC 66's are very tough to make.
Something tells me this won't go CAC 66. If it does it's a $800-$1,100 score. If not, maybe a $100 score at most or you might even have lost money.
A few too many ticks and high point scuffs imo to get a sticker. The stickering rate on 65's and 66's runs in the range of 5-15%. It's not easy at all.
The market recognizes this and pays $3600-$3800 for 66's. Generic 66's trade like stickered 65's. I don't think the color on this will negate the other
slight weaknesses. After examining a group of 115 nice MS65 saints before they went to CAC, I have a decent feeling for how tough they are. Only 6 got stickered.
$2270/$2490 is the current spread from generic 65's to generic 66's. It's pretty small. CAC 65's are bringing nearly as much or more than non stickered 66's as
odd as that may seem to some. CAC gem gold is very hot and still quite scarce. Non-stickered generic $20's are essentially perceived as next grade down with a +.
There are just not that many stickered 65's and 66's out there....but a literal ton of unstickered coins. The coin is pretty enough that maybe it gets a nice "eye appeal"
premium. But that would apply regardless of whether it was 65 or 66. CAC 65's were worth $2500-$2600 last I checked. It really comes down to the fact if JA thinks
this is a $3600 coin or one closer to $2500. It's his money on the line. There aren't that many classic series where a sticker adds 45% value to a coin.
Congrats!

Got it back from "where"?

Isn't the seller a CAC evaluator? Perhaps the OP will have better resticker prospects at 66 than expected!

The OP's collection was recently stolen and recovered.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
