<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2626254, member: 22331&quot;]I was to understand from the previous CAC site posted statement that seemingly old A,B,C grading was equivalent to Gold, Green, No-Bean CAC grading for a specfic TPG. I recently bid and won a relatively scarce/expensive PCGS/CAC MS65 1923D Double Eagle. I believe the coin substantiated your assertion of independent CAC standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe PCGS testified to great disbelief of many following PCI trial proceedings that a coin scratch was unacceptable for a grade, creating an appreciable defendant penalty. I thus assumed that the auction &quot;tru view&quot; quality images with a CAC &quot;bean&quot; would dictate a scratch free coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>My understanding of a scratch, as defined in dictionaries, must be different than that of PCGS. I observed a sharp tooled continuous width groove in the coin. I assumed (I know....) that would dictate a C level coin, incapable of receiving a &quot;bean&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your enlightenment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
