For you know who..... cac John. But if he stickers those coins in white holders they turn their nose up. The market turns their nose up. What's up where did all the respect go? Some can be bought cheap what I hear.
If John stickered a raw coin the market should stand in line and fight for them with all the so-called respect and support out there. I better get outta the way now.
Please... Save The Stories, Just Answer My Questions, And Tell Me How Much!!!!!

Perhaps sticker sticklers figure that a beaned NGC coin is more likely to be a "B" coin than an "A" coin.
All of this is a mess and a new collector with fat cash in his pockets is wise to run and put his dough elsewhere.
Here is what I know, on at least a couple occasions I offered and sold the sticker mill coins in those white holders. I was not asked what grading service. I told them type and grade only.
There are some that believe the standards are not the same on what they approve. The guy himself has confidence in himself. And no it is not sight unseen as he has seen them and left his mark.
Does anyone collect coins anymore?
What are those?
Those things that fill up the middle of sample slabs...

Money is tight plus the market struggling.
As far as stickered coins I have seen ones I like that I would agree they are PQ and others I don't like and don't want period.
Many buy coins with no concept what it will take recover their investment. If u want know what your stickered coin will really sell for start it in eBay at say $9.95 - the proof is in the pudding. Otherwise u want find the right buyer - BIN, BIN /MO, or taking a table at a show. I am amazed to see people with no concept in here like children not realizing how tough it is in the coin biz getting good retail money (or making money in coins period) thinking a sticker will save them investing tens of thousands of dollars in coins lol. Numismatic investment involves both buying and selling - you need be skilled in both sides of ball otherwise your toast.
Neither slab nor sticker will guarantee that one will not lose money on a coin. The market can be fickle, and often, buyers are dealers, which narrows or eliminates profit margins. Sure, slabs and stickers usually sell better than raw - key word 'usually'...However, many look to these accouterments as a guarantee of dollars invested. Many will be disappointed. Cheers, RickO
No I don't think sticker guarantees anything and I have said repeatedly in here I have rejected many stickered coins. The bottom line as a seller you have to find somebody who wants the coin and will pay the money.
I have purchased some stickered coins I felt are PQ but any premium I paid minimal (this is additional cost that has to be recovered by the business, especially considering current market conditions).
Some of us are in this hobby for the pure enjoyment of it. Recovering 100% or more of our initial outlay is only a minor concern. For me personally, I couldn't care less what holder the coin resides in, nor do I care if that holder is adorned with a green or gold sticker. My concerns are:
Do I like the look of the coin?
Is the price commensurate with the quality of the coin and my enjoyment of it?
If I pay $1,000.00 for a coin, keep it for 20 years, and then only get $800.00 when I sell it, that places the cost of my enjoyment of it at $10.00 per year. If I like the coin enough, that is a small price to pay for the decades of satisfaction I will have gotten out of owning and admiring it.
I like the coins. I get rather bored with hype, stars, bells, and whistles. Same for plastic , labels , and stickers. They are a necessary evil, like the automobile. Beam me up, Scotty.
