Found this at a local show today. Perfect example for me, to include in my type set. Thinking about sending it into CAC.

    An exceptionally nice example. Why spend money on a CAC sticker if you have no intention of selling it any time soon? Too much money is being wasted on things like stickers these days, If stickers still add value at the time in the future when you want to sell have it stickered at that time, not now.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Thank you and will take your recommendation under consideration. I have no plans to sell anytime soon, just thought it would add value when time comes to sell, either. by me or who ever ends up with it. I do think that in the future as well as today these CAC stickered PCGS holdered coins will bring more in the marketplace as they do today .

    I would send it to CAC now, who knows if they'll still be stickering when you eventually are looking to sell. It would bring more if it does carry the bean on the slab.

    @Cocoinut, thanks. That was my thought too. You were the first one to mention it. Was waiting for that response from someone. Looks like an area or 2 along the bands that have no separation. Oh well, otherwise it would be double the price.
