Um... the coin market is neither an investment market, nor is it regulated. There is no law against what the TPGs or CAC do - and they never say...
As long as a CAC sticker is a generally reliable indicator of better quality within a grade level, people will continue to find it useful. That...
Why? Buyers are clearly willing to pay stronger amounts to reduce that uncertainty. There is no law anywhere nor reason for your assertion. Who...
The uncertainty will always exist because coin grading is ultimately a subjective process at some level. You might be able to reach a certain...
1. The TPG grade reduces uncertaintly, but it still exists. See re-grading services, see crack-out game, see "+" designation. 2. CAC reduces the...
Everyone already knows there is uncertainty in the TPG opinion. That's why the TPGs themselves add a "+" designation. That's why people play the...
That's not an explanation, nor does it make any sense. How is CAC saying that they find the coin to be of the top 2/3rd quality for the stated...
How is that fraud? Where's the deception?
How is it "fraud"? I've never seen an explanation of that.
Since the purpose of CAC requires the coin and the grade, it's really a juvenile semantics game to say that they're "grading the grade" because...
For each one of those, the green sticker means CAC judged the coin to not only be appropriately graded at MS-63, but also to fall within the top...
I've submitted to NGC before, and now I'm going to get a PCGS submission and send some there. I know for NGC, each invoice must be of the same...
Since it's possible for 3 coins of the same, accurate grade to be ordered in terms of quality, all CAC does is say that the coin is in the top...
I read the posts, but I didn't see any explanation. Not wanting to argue, I just don't see where the "pyramid scheme" is.
Out of curiosity: how? They charge $10-$12.50 for those that sticker and $0 for those that don't. They don't make any more money past that. The...
For full disclosure, Legend owns part of CAC...
I wish I had enough money for a complete Seated Dollar set. And I agree, arrows & rays are one of my favorite design elements.
No one ever said it was "necessary".
From NGC's site: "NGC assigns a [IMG] to coins at the high end of their assigned grade, approaching the quality requirements for the next grade....
Doesn't PCGS, for example, always take the lowest grade from the group? That is, if in a group of 3, two think it's MS-65 but one says MS-64, it...
