<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shortgapbob, post: 263053, member: 6088&quot;]I just wanted to see what everybody here thought of the new CAC consortium that is debuting soon.&nbsp; If you haven&#039;t heard, they are a group of respected dealers who are uniting and basically grading the coin in grading company slabs.&nbsp; The idea is that they will put their seal of approval (a tamper proof sticker) on coins that they deem to be correctly graded and original.&nbsp; Their goal is to separate truely nice or PQ coins from low quality, overgraded or doctored coins.&nbsp; They are supposed to be using experts in particular fields to examine the coins in that field, rather than generalist graders.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some of those involved say that this is needed to clean up the TPG grading mess in many areas, like gold, where there are rampant complaints of overgraded coins.&nbsp; They also say that this will help identify doctored coins in holders, as a specialist in a particular area has a better chance at detecting a doctored coin rather than a generalist grader.&nbsp; The CAC is supposedly capatalized at $25 million. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, what are the opinions of the forum members of this new consortium to examine graded coins?&nbsp; Let the fireworks begin! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
