<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2497746, member: 76863&quot;]Yes I do believe they do.&nbsp; I can&#039;t give an exact number but I&#039;d say probably 5 percent are under graded and 5% over graded at any given time.&nbsp; They are extremely consistent within their own standards though.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But also remember that even if 5 percent of what CAC sees got a gold bean that doesn&#039;t mean it is 5 percent of what is graded, not every coin in a series gets sent to them.&nbsp; For example you could have the TPGs grade 100 coins and 10 go to CAC with 2 getting a gold bean.&nbsp; That would be 20 percent of CAC coins but only 2 percent of what was graded.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>CAC for the most part gets the best of the best ones already that people feel will sticker or have a great chance too (but yes some people blindly send everything). So they&#039;re already only getting a percentage of what was graded in the levels where it makes sense to try for a sticker.&nbsp; Then you account for the fact that not everything they see stickers in any color and from what does under 1 percent is getting golds in almost every series.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you really break it down you&#039;re probably talking about 1/10th of a percent or less of coins graded in a given series with a gold sticker and less then half a percent of the coins they&#039;re seeing.&nbsp; It&#039;s definitely more than a half grade bump and almost everyone will agree that it is at least a coin that would sticker at the next grade up.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never really seen a gold sticker that made me say &quot;that looks properly graded&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
