<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WashQuartJesse, post: 3257814, member: 18323&quot;]I assembled a 212 coin “raw” proof and business strike WQ album. This took me a decade or so to complete. During that time, I realized that CAC’s opinion on coins, or what they found bean-worthy, was much the same as mine. In other words, a coin they stickered was 9/10 times a coin that I also believed was very strong for the grade and <i>deserved</i> to command a premium. With that said, every slabbed and CAC’d WQ I own has been cracked out. There’s no need <i>for me</i> to see a TPG assigned grade or a little green sticker on <i>these</i> coins because I’ll never willingly part w/ them. </p><p><br /></p><p>CAC has unquestionably influenced my own eye for coins (at least in this series). I can’t speak to any of the other variables being discussed but will say that I do find their standards to be objective and very consistent in the WQ series. Original surfaces, luster, attractive NT, and technical grading are all terms that come to mind when I think of CAC. A novice or intermediary collector willing to pay a slight premium is usually going to do far better for her or his self w/ a slabbed/CAC’d example than they would any other way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
