<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24860583, member: 101855&quot;]I have a file of photos that I have saved over the years called &quot;CAC Question.&quot; They are the pieces that I thought fell short of the assigned grade despite the fact that they have a green CAC sticker. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think that CAC gets it right over 95% of the time, but it&#039;s the clunkers and some of the rejects which get to me. There are collectors and dealers who disparage every coin that does not have a CAC sticker. They imply that CAC has seen 100% of the graded coins, which is clearly not true.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes I’m glad when I see a coin that I like which does not have the sticker. That means I can probably buy it for less money. If this coin had gotten a sticker, I would not own it. PCGS graded it AU-58. At one time it was in an NGC MS-62 holder.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594294[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple CAC approved coins which I thought missed the mark. </p><p><br /></p><p>1861 $20 gold</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594295[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594296[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Compare that one with this 1861 which is graded AU-58</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594297[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Monroe Commemorative graded MS-67. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594298[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594299[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare it with this one graded MS-64, which costs far less.
