A coin they feel is solid for the grade gets a green sticker. A coin they feel is solid at the next grade higher gets a gold sticker.</p><p><br /></p><p>By solid they mean if you divide coins into three tranches at a given grade... C = just barely. B = correct and A = better, but not quite the next grade higher. Solid are the As and Bs.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>CACG is their recently introduced grading service. CACG only grades A and B coins. A C coin would be assigned the lower grade, i.e. a &quot;C&quot; MS63 at PCGS or NGC woulf be an &quot;A&quot; MS62 at CACG.</p><p><br /></p><p>(note that the A/B/C is not disclosed)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also yes, PCGS and NGC may assign + grades such as MS63+ (their way of saying it&#039;s a whisker below an MS64 but nice MS63). CAC ignores +.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
