It strikes me as mid-AUish due to the luster. Regardless it is very nice!
My new old Canadian quarter. This one really is silver, and not .800 but .925. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have one or two escudo notes from a Navy port visit to Lisbon in the late 90’s. Along with a silver Expo 98 commemorative I bought at a...

Exactly. Putting just any coin into a CAC slab would actually be inconsistent. It seems they won’t be pushing to become a mass market grader...
So that would be how we differentiate which coins have been through 2 companies versus just one. Definitely useful.
We have it direct from JA (from the CAC forum as quoted by @baseball21 earlier) that a coin not worthy of a CAC sticker at any grade is not going...
Here are some of my favourites I would recommend, some of which I have and others on my bucket list: 1. A German “Three Brothers” or “Wildman”....
If the “market acceptable” coins are going to get detailed as opposed to just being given a lower grade, then yes, that appears to be the case....
I’ve always understood CAC to be a safeguard against overgrading by TPG’s, as well as a market maker for coins meeting CAC’s standards. Therefore...
Will the CAC network dealers buy the new CAC slabs at the CAC price, or will that still only apply to other companies’ slabs with stickers?
The bottom line for me is that if I buy a coin slabbed by CAC in a given grade, say MS65, I would expect it to be the equivalent of an MS65 in a...
I wonder if the new grading service will result not in grade inflation, but deflation. It seems CAC would grade on the conservative side, and...
I started a Buffalo nickel set about 15 years ago and never got around to finishing it. I did buy a nice 13S Variety 2 a while back, so I may go...
That’s a nice looking coin. I’m personally afraid of buying 19th century and earlier Mexican coins raw and would recommend getting it into a...
I could barely see any wear if any, and was thinking a “market grade” of 62. I’m surprised it has stayed in that holder so long.
Instead of my typical impulse buying on eBay/GC/HA I made a trip to a local dealer during my lunch break yesterday and came back happy. [ATTACH]...

Qatar is not part of the UAE. Their dirham would be separate.
The “VF25” grade is what did it for me. It reminds me of a joke about 2 guys trying to tell each other’s horses apart. They found that one horse...
Separate names with a comma.
