<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1567217, member: 11854&quot;]Let me give you some clear information.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a CAC authorized dealer and am a supporter of the theory of CAC.&nbsp; Coins submitted to CAC are evaluated to see if they match the CAC standards.&nbsp; Coins can only be in NGC or PCGS holders for this service.&nbsp; Any plus grade (+) coins are evaluated as the base grade with no weight given to the plus (+).&nbsp; Of course, with older holders this does not matter since the plus (+) grading scheme is new.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins submitted to CAC have three possible outcomes-</p><p><br /></p><p>1) No sticker.&nbsp; This does <i>not </i> necessarily mean that the coin is overgraded.&nbsp; Rather, this means either that the coin is overgraded, is accurately graded but is in the lower third of the grade, or has been manipulated in some way unacceptable to CAC (overdipped, wiped, scratched, AT, putty, etc...).</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Green sticker.&nbsp; This means that the coin is within the upper two-thirds of the specified grade, in the opinion of CAC or that the coin might be within the lower portion of one grade higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Gold sticker.&nbsp; This means that the coin appears to be undergraded by at least one+ grade increments in the opinion of CAC.&nbsp; In other words, an MS65 with a gold sticker looks like a high end MS66 (let&#039;s say MS66.5) to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold sticker coins are <i>very rare </i> and the market pays a lot for coins with a gold CAC sticker.&nbsp; The rate for gold stickers was previously published as one gold sticker for every approximately 500-coins submitted to CAC.&nbsp; I have submitted about 100-coins of my own and received about a dozen gold stickers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
