<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1943114, member: 36248&quot;]I decide a good exercise for today would be to determine my lowest population CAC approved coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; This analysis is similar to the fun I had determining my &quot;rarest&quot; coin according to PCGS (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/numismatic-rarity-vs-coin-value-my-simple-analysis.247966/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/numismatic-rarity-vs-coin-value-my-simple-analysis.247966/">see here</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp; Note: I am using CAC&#039;s pop numbers, not NGC or PCGS numbers.&nbsp; I am also only looking a green CAC pop, not any Gold stickers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several factors that would lead to a coin having a low CAC-pop.&nbsp;&nbsp; Could be a very rare coin, or it could be so common and affordable, that people don&#039;t bother submitting to CAC. Or it could be a series that JA is really, really hard on.&nbsp; &nbsp; (or as [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] would say, a series that the TPG are really, really lenient on)&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Much like my rarity vs value thread, these numbers and color-coded chart may be more indicative of popularity than anything else.&nbsp;&nbsp; Still, I find it interesting.&nbsp; Which series have the correct combination of popularity &amp; value to commonly submit to CAC?</p><p><br /></p><p>RED = Many CAC approved examples in all grades</p><p>GREEN = Few CAC approved examples in all grades</p><p>YELLOW = below average number of CAC approved examples</p><p>ORANGE = above average number of CAC approved examples</p><p><br /></p><p>This is only taking into account my own collection.&nbsp; I have some very common coins and some more scarce coins, so I think my CAC Type set is a representative collection of analyze.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my results:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]337794[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see Morgan, Peace, Buffalo, Silver Commem are all quite common to find with a green CAC sticker.&nbsp; Some other series like the Jefferson 1943/2, I apparently own <u>1 out of only 13 approved in all grades! </u>&nbsp; (thanks [USER=70936]@mainer020648[/USER])</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that some of you find this mildly interesting!</p><p><br /></p><p>-Matt</p><p><u><br /></u></p><p><u></u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
