Nothing as long as they can also hack into CAC's database and add the serial number of the coin they are affixing the sticker to. You can check...
The colorized state quarters are hideous but as a lover of rainbow toned coins, I don't see anything wrong with the mint adding color to coins....
I didn't want to post an update this soon, but my fears are becoming a reality. The coin is currently at $950 ($1,092 w/ BP) and there are two...
We are at post number 15 in this thread and not one person has posted in support of the CAC. Well here it is. I like TPG's and I like the CAC...
With all due respect, I don't think your post is very accurate. First, the TPG does profit by net grading because they incentivize people with...

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are completely wrong. Your aversion to plastic seems to have warped your mind. Technically, I will not...
Wow Larry, those are outstanding. Mike, sweet Draped Bust, super cool. Here comes a rainbow walker! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] :)
Normally I do take the photos of the coins I post. However, this coin is extremely difficult to photograph, so I had to use Heritage's photo for...
Same Photo after hitting the auto-levels (contrast & color) on Adobe Photoshop. [IMG] Does this photo reflect the actual appearance of the coin?
The original grade assigned by TPG's (NGC & PCGS) is not arbitrary. They assign the grade based upon their evaluation of the coin that is...
