Dealers hate having to have coins graded and/or go to CAC, it’s much easier and cheaper to sell it raw and hype it up. Don’t forget too that the sticker was never meant for all the coins that ended up getting submitted, they’ve been aggressively raising prices for quite sometime to try and stop getting low/lower value coins. Collectors wanting that are diving that part. </p><p><br /></p><p>CAC certainly gets negative feedback, but it’s just not true to call them marketing BS. It’s also a very different situation than trying to redo the grading scale. CAC didn’t drastically switch the grading scale. Switching from 70 to 10 which is really 100 would be like football calling touchdowns 10 points, having both is even worse where it’s like on Thursdays it’s 10 points but goes back to 6 on Sunday[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
