<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2694764, member: 24091&quot;]In practice, most CAC coins with a gold sticker (what few there are) look at least a full grade better than the assigned grade.&nbsp; Most, though not all, appear on early slabs from the 1980s or early 1990s.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;slightly higher premium&quot; that is not the case by any stretch.&nbsp; For some coins there is no premium at all, especially if it is a common date in the circulated grades.&nbsp; At the higher grades, --particularity for coins at superb gem and higher grades and with a + designation, the premium for a CAC sticker can be many times the value of the coin in the same grade without the CAC sticker.&nbsp; For the very best material, this can translate into many tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars more realized at auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with CAC stickers for the collector of a registry set, is that if some of the coins have stickers while the majority do not, the assumption is all of the coins in the set have been seen by CAC and that those lacking a sticker are of questionable quality for the assigned grade.&nbsp; Unless all of the coins are consistently undergraded in the set, it might make more sense to sell &quot;as is&quot; rather than have only a few with CAC stickers disparaging the majority of the coins without.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is especially important for any collector with a finest known registry set that includes highly desirable pedigrees.&nbsp; For instance, if all of the coins are already housed in Pouge holders, it would be insulting to add a CAC sticker to the holder, as the assigned grade is almost trivial as the result of the provenance to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
