<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 821352, member: 19423&quot;]From the CAC website:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;For many years, coin dealers and advanced collectors have used the letters A, B, and C among themselves to further describe coins. C indicates low-end for the grade, B indicates solid for the grade, and A indicates high-end. CAC will only award stickers to coins in the A or B category. C coins, although accurately graded, will be returned without a CAC sticker&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Based on the above, CAC doesn&#039;t mean a great deal to me and it really shouldn&#039;t matter too much to most once people really understand what that sticker means.&nbsp; Based on their own website, CAC actually stickers quite a bit of coins if they actually do as they say they do.&nbsp; A CAC sticker basically means that the particular coin is in the top 2/3&#039;s of all coins for that particular grade (an A or a B coin for the grade, but not a C coin).&nbsp; Accordingly, in the long run we can expect that 2/3 of all coins in PCGS and NGC holders to end up with CAC stickers...&nbsp; CAC stickers don&#039;t mean that a coins is PQ or special... just that the grade is accurate and not in the very bottom end for the grade.&nbsp; CAC stickers may seem special now since not that many coins have been submitted for stickering compared to the number of slabs out there, but that perceived rarity can&#039;t last forever if CAC really does sticker 2/3&#039;s of the coins they see.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I could see how CAC may assist those that buy coins sight unseen, but since I don&#039;t do that it doesn&#039;t really help me out that much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
