<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8053530, member: 105571"]I don't speak authoritatively by any means, but I believe it is the same for circulated coins as it is for MS coins: To merit a gold bean, the coin must be under-graded by the TPG by at least one grade. For example, if the coin has a TPG grade of VF-25, CAC deems it should have been graded VF-30, so it merits a Gold bean. Of course, if CAC thought that VF-25 coin should have been graded VF-35, it would still get a gold bean and the observer would have no idea that CAC thought it was under-graded by <b><u>two</u></b> grades.

In other words, would that VF-25 coin be considered an A, B, or C grade coin at the next higher grade of VF-30? I don't know and I'm not certain anyone knows except maybe the magi in the inner sanctum of the CAC temple.
