    Your Steps Ain't Full, Buddy.

    I found this thread while trying to find out what the hell a RNBO sticker was.  Seems that there are 20+ designations by the MAC people.

    With regard to the original post - it leaves me wondering.  NGC will certify the coin as 5FS and 6FS.  I my estimation, it leaves the 4 step designation as a gimmick to take advantage of the uninformed.  Isn't that the PRIMARY reason that TPG came about?

    I watch people bid the hell out of CAC stickered coins.  It is often irrational.  The Greysheet people now have a special publication to price CAC coins.  As the kids would say WTF.  If TPG is accurate (I submit it usually is) then what you are doing is paying extra for a second opinion.

    Curiously, it doesn't end there.  There is a market for labels in coin holders.  Is a perfect coin any more perfect when it has a first day of issue label????
