How in the world did this coin earn a green sticker from CAC. I thought CAC is supposed to only sticker high end for the grade coins. I would not buy this coin at all.

MS67: Very well struck with minor imperfections visible without magnification.
MS68: Only the slightest weakness in strike with a few tiny imperfections barely visible.
It appears the problem is that your grading scale does not match PCGS's.
I don't think Aotearoa will post a pic of himself.
I think the problem is that he expects PCGS and CAC to move to his standard rather than the other way around.
I personally HATE calling 3/4 horn Buff nickels VF. But it would be foolish of me to not recognize what the accepted guidelines are and insist that a PCGS CAC VF coin without a full horn should be re-evaluated.
No one has to buy a coin they don't like. But personal standards are simply NOT market trends.

Unfortunate lighting issue with that photo.
You're right. Copyright rules prevent me from doing so.
Smitten with DBLCs.
Everybody knows Irregardless of grade / sticker low end coins don’t or struggle get all the money if one is even able move them at all. So the coin in question subject of this thread definitely would not be a good buy. My advice to its owner - go sell it to him (JA). I have 65 graded coins that beat it to pieces lol.
It’s the converse of me telling some low baller off the bourse “well go find one then.”
Your advice is moot. The coin is being auctioned and based on the last price I saw, it was already bid up to what many would say "all the money".

KNOWING THE FORUM "RULE" AGAINST KNOCKING AN PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN COIN IN A PENDING AUCTION, ANYONE CONTINUING THIS DISCUSSION OWES AN APOLOGY TO DLRC FOR ENABLING THIS UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR
MS 65 Merc that would put the coin pictured to shame
Right. The coin we have no picture of to look at.

This has been blown out of proportion. Name above photographed coin posted inadvertently by accident. Coin was only a $100 value not a big important auction piece. No major damage.
