<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 2317666, member: 9474&quot;]Three other stickering services that are out there.</p><p>1. MAC GE - Stands for Modern Approved Coins/Grade Enhancements.&nbsp; Here is the description from their page...</p><p><font size="3"><b>MAC takes up where CAC leaves off. MAC only stickers spotless coins. If you have a certified modern Mint State (post 1940) coin of premium quality your coin is Macable. A MAC sticker could enable you to increase the value of your coins above that stated in existing Price Guides. MAC provides the Price Guide and POP reports for all coins that have been through its process. Take a look at our MAC Price Guides to see what a MAC sticker could do to the value of your coins!</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><b>GRADE ENHANCEMENTS</b></font></p><p><font size="3"><b>Grade Enhancements can be applied to 90% of all U.S. traditional and foreign coins that have been overlooked for 50 years. Where current certification reflects the grade of a coin, Grade Enhancements are all about the differences in the die strike. Take a look at our Grade Enhancement designations and Price Guides to see what a MAC GE sticker could do to the value of your coins!</b></font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">I have seen these starting to really pop up at shows.&nbsp; Not so much for QA.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">2. WINGS - World Identification and Numismatic Grading Services.&nbsp; Very much like CAC but for World Coins.</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">3. PQ Approved - This is a Barry Stuppler organization.&nbsp; A PQ Approved sticker certifies that a coin has outstanding eye appeal. You can trust that your PQ Approved rare coins are problem free and high end for their grade. You will be proud to display your PQ Approved rare coins, and you will be confident that they will retain their value. No doubt you’ve heard that, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” In the case of PQ Approved rare coins, “Beauty is IN the holder.”</font></p><p><font size="5"><br /></font></p><p><font size="5">Say what you will about these services but as of now, CAC coins are bringing higher dollars.&nbsp; I did not believe in these services when they started to appear but once I started to see the price inflation with my own eyes I became a believer.&nbsp; I have not seen the market react the same way to the other services with the exception of MAC GE.&nbsp; And only the GE side not the MAC side.&nbsp; </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
