<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 8608087, member: 56370&quot;]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.&nbsp; Therefore it’s hard for me to picture CAC becoming just another grading service applying the same standards as the others.&nbsp; It seems they would lose their influence in the market if they did that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assigning too high of a numerical grade is one issue, but an even bigger question in my opinion is what should be done with coins that are “market acceptable” to TPG’s&nbsp; but are dipped or have other issues such as minor rim dings that make them unacceptable to CAC.&nbsp; The paper money grading system already has this worked out.&nbsp; They have “EPQ” for fully original notes, regular straight grades for notes that are washed or pressed or otherwise not fully original but still market acceptable, and “apparent”/“net” grades as equivalent to “details”.&nbsp; There’s even another category of straight grades with “comments”.&nbsp; Why not have the same for coins?&nbsp; To me a CAC sticker is like “EPQ”, but non-CAC is still okay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
