[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2957121, member: 19165"]If the coin was rejected by CAC, that means it is either a C coin for the grade (which is perfectly fine - still accurately graded, but will usually trade towards the lower end of the price band), or it has some problems (which is not okay). Without more information, it is really hard to say. Within the same grade, the CAC coin will almost always sell for more than the non-CAC coin. However, there is no way to know if the coin was rejected, or just never submitted (unless you submitted it yourself). When you start talking about different grades, there are just too many variables to tell you any generalization. If you learn to grade for yourself, and only buy problem free, attractive, original pieces, CAC becomes significantly less important. It doesn't matter what CAC will or will not say, because you already know its a good piece! However, because the vast majority of collectors are not at this level, they rely on CAC to tell them if it is a good coin or not. I realize that probably doesn't answer your question, but the mantra "Buy the coin not the holder" can just as easily be extended to "Buy the coin not the sticker."[/QUOTE]
