    Looking on ebay today, I noticed a dealer selling lots of slabbed WLH's. Many of them are MS65's. I would like to have one for my type set. He had some graded by PCGS as MS65+, and some MS65 CAC. Without looking at the coin and just assume both look fairly equal, would you rather have a Plus grade or a green bean? To me, Plus means it's very strong for the grade and almost the next grade up according to PCGS. CAC means someone else determines it's strong. Which would you choose with this Info in hand? Which designation means more to you?

    I would choose the MS65+. and f.y.i. if the green bean is what you want, apparently CAC doesnt take "+" into consideration when they put their sticker on a coin, so if you send a MS65+ to them they will grade it by the MS65 standards, so, in my opinion, a + is better than a CAC sticker!

    I would rather have the CAC sticker, but that is because I like to eat green jelly beans.

    :p

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that the Green Bean means that it is good for the grade. To me, plus (+) would be better.

    I can't answer that question. :) I buy coins and not stickers or +'s or slabs. So you have to look at them and decide which gets you the best coin.

    I own some PCGS + coins and their luster is blazing! Not sure if the luster or the condition gave it the Plus grade. Wonder if I resubmitted, I could get a higher grade....

    I honestly thought most people would have voted for CAC, so this is surprising to me. I like the Plus grades also.
