Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8224839, member: 73489"]I need to find a quote for a 1928 MS-66+ so see how much the "+" and the "+CAC" designations add to the value of the coin separately.  Obviously, it depends on how much the next full grade (MS-67) is worth. The MS-67 is worth $15,000, and the MS-66+CAC (the closest you can get grade-wise to a 67) went for half that, $7,500.  The "plain-old" MS-66 went for $4,225. I guestimate that an MS-66+ (w/out CAC) will sell for about $5,500, given where the others are above/below it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />I thought CAC generally meant it is "strong for the grade" and given to the majority of "A" coins and some "B"s with "C"s being the bottom rung and not qualifying. I can't speak on market vs. technical grading differentials....but the excellent CAC piece that BB21 provided a link to indicates that the CAC premium will depend on the prices for the coins at the 2 relevant grades....PLUS...the likelihood of getting a CAC sticker for that particular coin.  The article mentioned that the 1923 Saint had a 1% CAC rate at the MS-65 level while the 1923-D Saint had a 25% CAC rate at the same Gem grade. Premium for the latter was 25% but for the former was over 250%.[/QUOTE]
