Even though the seller stated, " In hand, this coin will melt just about any collector’s heart" I could not see even the slightest evidence of any deposit residue of holy water.
So..... firmly convinced that only coins with blessings may be acceptable in the future and.... being that I am FAR closer to having a coin ..estate... than a coin ...collection, I denied my eyes and heart and ....passed. 
Although it kinda ticks me off, I have drunk of the fount of popular wisdom and become a convert.
For so it came to pass that the eyes of man cannot be trusted without examination by the priest, so be it that such abominations be driven from the land.
A kinda funny thing happened on the way to worship the other day.
I bought a blessed coin and, after seeing it wasn't happy but didn't trust the semi-hinky seller, I consigned it to auction.
Whereupon the "blessing" assured its pretty high final bid.
But...LO!
The same coin returnethed to the auction for disposal again after only a month and a half.

The poor auctioneer. Bless him.
Dunno if it was a return from first auction or unpaid or just someone else who didn't find the coin any more enchanting than I did.
Your headline is as confusing as most of the headlines I see in the news these days! I have no idea what you are talking about here, but I like it anyway.
unrelated but I just saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico...
all around collector of many fine things
It is a good headline- brought me right in, but I don't follow where you are leading...

He almost bought an $8,000 coin but it wasn't stickered so he thought it may be unwise for resale purposes and he also bought a different coin with a sticker on it but didn't like it so he auctioned it off and got a nice price but the new owner is auctioning it himself again now.
I couldn't tell what you were talking about either, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

Saw coin. Didn't buy coin because of lack of blessing. May regret. Doubt it though.
I thought it was a Halloween post about vampires with the holy water and melting hearts. In retrospect there wasn’t a mention of a stake tho.
Sometimes there's a lot at stake.
Blessings= Beans
Priest= JA
For the slow ones
There are coins known to insiders that confer great advantage, karma, blessing and just old fashioned good luck to those who are lucky enough to acquire them. Their owners start winning the hearts of women or men that used to pay them no heed, business opportunities suddenly come up like never before, and the owner's health greatly improves. Unfortunately I have never owned one of those one of a kind coins.
Put me in the "Huh?" camp as well
My Google translator's on the fritz
Another coin stuck in coin purgatory or perhaps destined for coin hell that was denied a green wafer for numismatic communion... Sigh.
I've saved millions over the years by never buying an 1804 dollar.

I saved lots of $ by heading to bed before Mr. Smirnoff grabs me and walks me to the keyboard unknowingly.
Then again, he's won on a few occasions too...
Love the term "coin estate".
Plowing so much cash into coins it becomes a serious inheritance.
are you a believer?
have you been saved?
No. I think I am going to coin hell.
Across the street?
I like the term too as it provides metaphorical continuity. You now have a coin estate which inevitably contains a few coins you are buried in or with.
Or under.

did you post this after church
Yea though you walk through the valley of coins,
You will fear not, for you tread the path of certified acceptance.
The symbol of acceptance will protect me and assure me of quality.
Those who venture without the shield shall wail and bemoan their foolishness.

Yes, I've heard those same words (the thread title) from my wife as she brings home many "bargains".
Stop that!
It's hard enough to decide between "Agree" "Like" and "Lol"
Especially when all apply.
Okay.... seriously..... take my wife.... uh...wait... No.
Can beans do anything BUT remove value from non-beans?
Right now it's obvious that there is a ...premium... being attached to beans.
So explain to me how that will NOT evolve/devolve into pricing DOWN for anything that doesn't "pass."
If you're going anywhere between high three to seven figure coins, it's only human nature (and prudence) to at least think about when you (or yours) may dispose of it.
So....unless the coin is a "stand alone rarity" don't you think that people spending in that range will (if not now) ....EVENTUALLY.... begin demanding beans to protect their self interest?
ALL of the time.
If not, then tell me HOW non beaners will manage to maintain any demand.
(we need a question emoji)
This was basically the goal all along: to increase the value of purportedly solid or high end for the grade coins while inferior coins would continue to sink. It may, however, backfire as the premiums are somewhat capped by the constantly depreciating non-CAC coins. As the price gap widens, at what point will buyers pick the wholesome non-CAC coin over the much higher priced CAC coin? Will buyers pay 1.5x, 2x, 3x, or more for beaned "A" or "B" coins over wholesome "C" coins?
Exactly. This is the cusp of CAC or......nothing.
Reap the whirlwind, folks. You made no objections to the service's making C coins....junk.
I thought when I opened this thread it was going to say on car insurance.

We only insure approved cars. The others are clunkers so we don't bother with em.
I just got back from working in Honduras, and I thought my English comprehension had failed me.
I still have no idea what was said, and now I have lost 3 minutes of my life.
