[QUOTE="illini420, post: 870993, member: 19423"]CAC can still be an important factor to some collectors on both the older style holders and the newer SecurePlus holders, even if the coin got a plus. The value CAC added is that it was yet another opinion as to the grade of the coin. If PCGS/NGC are the third party opinion, then CAC was the fourth-party opinion. So, even if NGC gives a coin a star or a plus or if PCGS gives a coin a plus, it's still just the opinion of PCGS/NGC... CAC's independent opinion of the coin may be relevant to some collectors. Since grading is subjective and isn't an exact science (and really can't be perfected down to decimal fractions of grades), I expect some PCGS + coins to not get CAC stickers if CAC disagrees with PCGS. Likewise, some PCGS coins that didn't get a + will surely get CAC stickers.[/QUOTE]
