<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 26507022, member: 22331&quot;]I hope you&#039;re incorrect, as I&#039;ve more than 1000 CACed coins, and had a personal discussion with John when he 1st started applying the &quot;bean&quot;, having many coins delivered to him since.</p><p>The coins I sent were generally all in the 4 leading TPG slabs originally, as a 65 year collector, having assisted in a BM coin shop since starting by trading my time at age 9 for large cents, etc., in 1949.</p><p>The majority of my coins sent, never even received a Green sticker!</p><p>I still purchase the new CAC slabbed coins, when I locate a Gold coin at my &quot;Fair Market&quot; price, as being less than CDN evaluated.</p><p>It&#039;s believed I must be misunderstanding your statements, or you may be grossly misinformed!</p><p>I&#039;d suggest that you only purchase raw coinage, based on your trust of relatively proven TPG standards which have allowed these &quot;fraudulent&quot; firms to elevate, relative to the grading firms&#039; standards!</p><p>What published standards do you support for coin grading, as I may have learned improperly!</p><p>In my now 75 years of coin collecting, working in BM coin stores, attending shows, sending unslabbed top-tier coins in for re-grading, etc., I found PCGS to be one of the most inaccurate TPG, as was determined by others in the 1980 TPG evaluation.</p><p>I found CAC to be the most consistent evaluation source, not necessarily specifying a grade, but evaluating relativity to the published 1977 A.N.A. grading standards!, who today produces a believed definitive successful graded product that should establish credability for the few individuals unable to accept truths!</p><p>Anyone who has learned the general wear patterns of coins, can generally easily properly grade a slabbed coin!</p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
