If I was going to purchase such a high priced RARE coin as this I would want a CAC sticker on it. Just sayin. But maybe that's just me lol...Joe

Authenticity is what is important -- not a bunch of silly stickers!

Honestly, CAC and to a lesser extent, the grade, are more or less irrelevant on ultra-rarities such as the Brasher and other coins like the 1804 $1, 1933 $20, 1913 5¢, etc...

Looking into the coin is more important than looking at the coin -D.S.
I don't even think it matters to the big players if NGC or PCGS slabbed this coin due to its rarity and just wanting the authenticity. It will go for big money either way. Also I think due to the rarity, it will sell for nearly the same in whichever holder
Maybe a PCGS one will sell for 14,000,001 and the NGC one 14,000,000

I think that's why it was slabbed. A slab gives the coin excellent protection in an inert holder that allows the coin to be handled with a degree of safety
A slab keeps the coin from being handled AT ALL!
Hmmm, I wonder if it would be possible for a coin like that to survive 230 years without a slab? I must be crazy, it could never happen.
Oh wait... IT ALREADY DID!!!!!!!

I agree.
