OK thanks Lehigh.....so it's almost like overgrading and % of CAC are inversely related, that was the point he was trying to make with the very...
Anybody heard anything about FUN 2021 ?
You've checked out the thread ATS on Franklin Gradeflation and FBLs, right ?...
These opinions are un-investable. They're all over the place.
Nice coin and nice pics, Lehigh !
Here's something that I came across on an old thread ATS last year that I wanted to explore. It concerned Saint-Gaudens and MS65 CACs vs. MS66's....
Thought CAC deserved its own thread. Anything to do with CAC.... pros...cons....successes....failures....likes... dislikes... whatever. :D
BTW Charlottedude, I post auction sales of 1907 High Relief's in the other High Relief thread here at CT....but definitely AU-58's down about 20%...

But I think comparing an "A" vs. a "B" might have led to a premium for the "A"....but not as much as now when that "A" coin has a CAC sticker....
I also think some well-known numismatic researchers ran afoul, too.
CAC is a unique situation where you really aren't comparing apples-to-apples (straight TPG grade for each), IMO. But I see your point and you're...
Civil disagreement should be OK, but yeah...don't trash your hosts. I could see where they might not like that.
I haven't seen it yet in the 2 series that I follow closely -- Saints and Morgans -- but that could be a function of weak overall prices. Saints...
1,000,000% agree !! I learn SO MUCH on CT from reading from you veterans. I don't dislike someone going against my POV, it's how I learn. This...
Fair point....but at the same time, going back to that Franklin thread...no reason to strongly but politely inquire as to what they were thinking...
Separate names with a comma.
