My position is that I can't collect expensive U.S. coins in the future because I can't tolerate the current market with one man pulling the strings.

For example I bought a coin in an MS-61 holder that is really only an AU-55 or 58. That will never bean. It's a good coin, but it's condemned.

How is JA pulling any strings with regards to a coin you recognize as having been overgraded?

He has nothing to do with it.

You said this coin was "condemned" by cac

You refuse to buy any coin without a sticker, and you are not alone. So it’s “condemned” so far as you are concerned.

At a price I would consider it. But I wouldnt pay ms 61 money for it or au 58 money for it

I bought it as a collector. Money is not always the chief motivation. Sometimes you buy something because it’s rarely available in a grade that fits in with the rest of a set.

If possible, I avoid putting a VF in a set that is made up of Choice AUs and low end Uncs.
