Given the gargantuan premiums being garnered from the gold beans, usually well over the values of the coins themselves, it has become blatantly obvious that the gold CAC sticker has become a highly sought-after collectible on its own. But some forum members inexplicably believe that only the coins matter, including dealers who should know better.
What is wrong with collecting this prestigious gold foil? It is just another collectible.
I wonder what this $200 gold CAC coin will realize at auction:

The gold stickered PCGS coins I am most proud of are:
(1) 1916-D dime in PCGS OGH G-04. I showed Laura Legend this coin before I submitted it to CAC and she called it a GEM good . LOL.
(2) 1955 DDO cent in PCGS AU-58.
Interesting how attached I am to these two special slabs as I also own a 1955 DDO cent in PCGS OGH MS-65 blazing RD cent with a green sticker.
Remember this was back in 2011.
Again, my biggest problem, is there is NO secondary buy/sell liquidity for these coins. Auctions are the only way in or out.
Be careful.
What ever happened to buy the coin, NOT the holder?
Almost all of my coins are bought with no sticker and then I send them to CAC. If they sticker, I keep them. If CAC says no, I sell them. Always a couple of exceptions.
