[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1505087, member: 29751"]These hypothetical conspiracy theory paranoid musings have provided my Monday with some humor. I agree with Doug that putting a "low for the grade" sticker would not be terribly useful as it would be immediately removed. The "etching" of the slab is a really silly idea, and would likely be a death blow to CAC's business volume if they implemented such a plan -- who wants to send in a coin for potential approval knowing that if it fails it will receive the dreaded "Scarlet Letter" etched into its plastic. Not to mention, this would likely cost more than a simple hologram sticker and would drive up costs for submitters at the same time as making the service less appealing. As Lehigh stated, there is no reason why CAC can't provide in their cert look-up database the coins that have already been submitted but did not sticker. Such a look-up would be useful for persons who are thinking of submitting a coin for review, so they would know whether its previous owner had already attempted the same. BUT, I'm sure CAC enjoys looking at the same coin over and over and getting paid to do so. ;)[/QUOTE]
