<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 628039, member: 15309&quot;]So your point is that the CAC could eliminate the allegations of fraud by simply publishing publicly every opinion of every coin they examine.&nbsp; I think if you read Ruben&#039;s (MrBrooklyn) opinion of the CAC, you might think otherwise.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have the time to search for his opinion in a previous thread, but there are going to be critics and supporters of the CAC no matter which side of the fence we stand on.&nbsp; Personally, I think the CAC is a very valuable tool for collectors that don&#039;t have the opportunity to attend major shows and purchase coins sight seen.&nbsp; Creating a stable sight unseen market is well worth the nominal grading fee that the CAC charges.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, I have always been of the opinion that slabbing a coin valued under $200 is generally a waste of money unless the coin is toned, frequently counterfeited, or is of registry quality.&nbsp; To that end, sending a certified coin to the CAC would also be a waste if the coin was not valued at $500+ IMO.&nbsp; I personally own 5 coins that I know were reviewed by the CAC.&nbsp; Everyone is valued well over $1,000.&nbsp; The most expensive one came back with a CAC red sticker.&nbsp; Here is a photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Commemoratives/040909.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have to assume that the CAC keeps track of every coin they see simply to ensure consistency.&nbsp; After all, they don&#039;t want the same coin to be submitted multiple times with different results.&nbsp; That actually could be considered fraud, even though the TPG&#039;s do it routinely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
