[QUOTE="WillGK, post: 8156967, member: 115517"]No label switch. Different submissions. And CAC looked at #1 and put a sticker on it, so #1 is a good coin at the grade.

Easier, faster and less expensive for me to submit to CAC than PCGS. It just just doesn’t seem like it’s worth the bother to go back through PCGS on these sorts of coins that aren’t likely to get a full grade bump. My problem with Franklins is probably too much information. I accept the expertise of PCGS.

Franklins are different. I have a lot of Franklins that I’ve submitted, and more to go. So I can look at these coins, in hand, side by side.
