<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 26708543, member: 36248&quot;]No, this is not quite correct.&nbsp; &nbsp; A &quot;gold&quot; CAC sticker means that it&#039;s at least 1 full numeric grade higher than what the TPG assigned.&nbsp; &nbsp; But the vast majority of coins with CAC stickers are &quot;green&quot; flavor.&nbsp;&nbsp; The way to think of this is that within a single numeric grade, say P01, if you were to divide that into 3rds, then the bottom 1/3 would not sticker, and the top 2/3 would sticker.&nbsp;&nbsp; Basically, it&#039;s just a way to find coins that are &quot;solid&quot; to above average for that grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>So within P01 grade, a coin with a green CAC sticker is a nicer coin that many other examples with that same grade.&nbsp; Its also implies that the coin has not been messed with, cleaned, artificially toned, modified, etc.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people don&#039;t need or want CAC&#039;s seal of approval. But for me, I like the extra set of eyes on the coin, and it&#039;s a fun way to collect.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; By finding only coins that are CAC approved, it makes the hunt harder and thus more rewarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my Fair-2 coins with a CAC sticker are still only a Fair-2, but they are darn nice fair 2&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
