<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1464506, member: 15199&quot;]There are many who have tried to produce such a service as grading, regrading,authenticating, etc. But the majority of collectors are beyond the acceptance of these so called basement grading companies. 20-30 years ago, many started and failed . Even with little internet exposure, collectors realized that for the best grading ( assuming a person didn&#039;t want to spend years and observing thousands of coins ) was done by recognized big time collectors/graders/dealers/organizations. PCGS , NGC, ANACs fulfilled these needs. The argument about CAC will continue, but the reason it is succeeding is the graders who do CAC,have the reputation. Reputations ( contrary to some opinions) can not be just declared , they&nbsp; must be earned. Even well known experts on specialized areas , such as mint errors, or pattern coins can not demand the same payment for a grading/authenication. If CAC was failing, there would be no customers, but as far as the market is concerned it is not failing. I don&#039;t have a single coin with a CAC sticker. I think I can tell in hand a low MS-64 Morgan from a high end&nbsp; MS-64 Morgan. If your purpose is to sell, compare the cost of the sticker with the change in cost on resell. If you are a collector ( rather than seller) who can grade, you don&#039;t need it any more than those who hack their car computer to make their Honda sound like a Ferrari. Do they fool you ? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
