<p>[QUOTE="bhaugh, post: 1709921, member: 36379"]I don't know if I fully agree with this statement. By design, the Green Bean Coins are designed to be the very top of a given grade's population. Ideally, Green Bean stickers go to the coins that are exceptionally strong coins for a grade. That doesn't mean that if a coin doesn't sticker that it isn't worthy of the grade on the slab, but only the best will receive stickers (or at least that is what they are saying). That being said, I do not believe they take into account if the coin has a + or a *. They treat all of one grade the same. So by theory all + or * coins should be shoe-ins for stickering, but again this isn't always the case. In order to keep more money with the TPG's, you will probably see more of these + and * grades as they try to capture more money and keep people away from CAC. This however doesn't take into account that not all coins will go to CAC, so you could very well find an unstickered coin that is as nice if not nicer for the grade than one that is CAC'ed. If that is the case, I would suggest resubmitting it to the TPG for regrading. If we're talking about comparing Green Beans to + and * grades, I would rather have the +/*. Although Gold Beans are still the outlier (I wouldn't mind some of those <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).</p><p>(By all means, if I am incorrect please correct me, this is just how I have come to understand things.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
