<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 870865, member: 7638&quot;]Another case of &quot;stickeritis,&quot; or, &quot;Dr., I&#039;d like a second, third, fourth ... opinion.&quot;</p><p>CAC (Albanese) has stated that they pay no heed to other company&#039;s grades when they decide whether to apply the coveted green bean. So now one has a coin in the upper end of the grade, according to two, unrelated, sets of experts. I suppose that might be important to some who traffic in the extreme high end, like high grade early gold, Gobrechts, etc, but the logic of this approach escapes me for those of us who merely exist in the numismatic troposphere. </p><p>&nbsp; One purpose of CAC was to &quot;create a market&quot; for its coins, IOW, Albanese will buy approved coins for &quot;strong money,&quot;&nbsp; whatever that is. So having the green bean might improve liquidity somewhat.&nbsp; Also, Albanese is considered the best in the business at detecting doctored coins, esp. gold coins. </p><p>&nbsp; I think this also may be a case of the &#039;+&#039; designation being so new that not everyone trusts it, yet.&nbsp; And there are dealers who only handle CAC coins, and probably collectors who only buy coins with the&nbsp; &#039;haricot vert.&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
