    I didn’t spend much, but I don’t like it much, either. Today is the only day that it merits being shown.

    Not stupid money but definitely a color cac premium.

    I acquired both of these pre-CAC, and never submitted. In both cases neither dealer would budge on the price. But yesterday’s stupid money sometimes turns out to be a bargain over time.


    I love the 21-p, the 21-not so much ;D

    I really like your 21-D. Not easy to find in that grade.

    Obscenely rare 1871 Shallow N IHC in GEM RD. Not going to “Blay” the label; the provenance will be known for many years down the road!

    That a beautiful coin ... for fun did you consider getting a CMQ sticker as well?

    How do I post pics of my entire collection? :)

    Here is one. This was a punch-in-the-face stretch. But what are you going to do when the coin is scarce and exceptionally nice?

    PCGS AU58

    Went through that with the 1852. I hopped into an auction that was closing at a ridiculously low price, lost all common sense, and ended up buying a coin I wasn't thrilled about and not a good fit for a ridiculously high price. Coins grading "AU58 with CAC" will be carefully avoided in the future. No point fighting the Everyman collectors when I would have been perfectly happy with a VF coin.

    This is my example.

    That’s incredible for an 80-O!

    And @drddm those halves are gorgeous.

    @horseyride: I didn’t, but maybe not a bad idea! Not many triple stickers yet. Sorry for the delay in replying - I’ve been vacationing.

    Like @Crypto

    I'm a price shopper but this one necessitated, what to me was, 'stupid money.' It's CAC stickered but didn't pay over or under PCGS pricing. I could make a lot more money in a high yield saving account. Lol. But then, I wouldn't have this beauty to hold and to round out my MS Morgan Carson City collection. More stupid money is needed for the 63+.

    Stupid money is what stupid money does!
