Bought any CACG coins lately?

Bought a couple CACG common date Morgan $ but had to pay up.

I'll buy the coin from a TPG and if it comes with CACG that is fine. I will not pay more for the added candy though. Thanks for sharing your good fortune, happy and safe holidays to you and yours.

 

Pictures or it never happened

 

I've bid on a 5-6 now but as you mention at the moment being new the cac slabs carry a hefty premium and that i'm not will to pay for I just wait till they not brand new and the premium drops a bit

 

Haven’t seen to many out there when it comes to liberties and saints but always
in the hunt for my first CAC slab

 

I just bought one for curiosity.

 

bradgator. The slab looks kind of like a green PCGS slab.
Is it a close match or is that just the photo? James

 

The CAC label is pretty stand alone, has more of a lime color where the OGH are darker.

 

pretty close actually. The “section under the bar code” of the new cac holder is a near identical green.

 

It’s a fun addition to my 1886s

 

I think the CAC letters in the background are a dead giveaway..LOL

 

What was the premium for the coins approximately ?

 

I buy the coin, not the holder. I’ve been looking for a coin for 6 years now. Oh I’ve found them and graded like I want, in a holder that I want. But I’ve passed them up as I don’t like the coin. Better to buy the coin than the holder.

 

All CACG coins have that darker green CAC bean, right ? I guess it's superfluous because since CAC is doing the grading the coin would/should be "strong for the grade" -- an "A" coin -- and thus shouldn't need the extra CAC bean.

But I guess it's a way to market and give away 2 things -- a grade and the bean -- at the same time.

The label by itself, sans the CAC bean, is pretty drab, IMO...looks very dated like from the 1980's or 1990's. JMHO.

 

I am just a little surprised the CAC slab is so thick. I use Eagle brand coin holders for slabs. Makes me wonder if they would fit.

 

Think of the green bean on the CACG slab as a "trademark" rather than the coin judgement that it is when you see the bean on a PCGS or NGC slab.

So far, the evidence that I have seen strongly suggests that what JA has been saying is true: A coin straight-graded in a CACG slab is graded the same as a coin in a PCGS or NGC slab that has been awarded the Green Bean sticker.

 

CAC in the middle. Modern PCGS on the left. NGC on the right.

 

No. Entirely separate Teams and Grading system.

 

Agreed, thanks Publius.

 

IS the system different ? JA is still in charge...I would think his standards are employed, for CAC stickering or CAC grading, right ?
