[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2731393, member: 60292"]...or any other sticker grading service... You don't have much basis for comparison!!! What I mean by this is that you don't know how other coins stack up against the one with a "bean" (sticker) in most cases since most coins haven't been CAC assessed. You also don't know if a coin was assessed by CAC and denied a sticker. Sure the one with the sticker was assessed a passing grade, but how are you supposed to know a similar non-stickered slab (at a most likely lower price since CAC carries a premium) wouldn't get a sticker also? To a lesser degree, it's almost like comparing an ungraded coin with a graded coin. On the other hand, if you are comparing two CAC stickered coins then you can gauge which one is the better deal for the money. I know some of you are going to respond that on high-end coins it's a security blanket. I understand that (and agree). In this case the issue is rather insignificant since rare coins are more unique and therefore comparisons to other coins is more subjective.[/QUOTE]
