<p>[QUOTE=&quot;orifdoc, post: 2645898, member: 82261&quot;]To my knowledge, CAC has never publicized their exact pass/fail rate.&nbsp; Without this information, it is impossible to be precise, but those with lots of experience submitting get a feel for rates of success across the different series. The opinions presented here regarding Saints, Mercs, Barbers, and commems is in-line with my own observations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had submissions with 17/20 success rates and others with 1/12.&nbsp; I personally believe it has something to do with the quality of coin you send them.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The only series I know in depth is Peace dollars. For those, I&#039;ve acquired an understanding of what NGC values, what PCGS values, what CAC values, and what the greater market values. In broad generalities, CAC favors originality even when eye appeal isn&#039;t great, PCGS loves luster and will forgive some hits if the coin beams. They dislike ugly color more than NGC. I favor luster but require a clean cheek &amp; eagle. The market favors blast white &amp; dipped coins.&nbsp; Little oddities of preference like this exist in every series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
