[QUOTE="rld14, post: 1109325, member: 16133"]And CAC... Like them or dislike them, the truth is, CAC coins do generally bring a premium and they have rapidly growing market acceptance. I have been bringing my collection to CAC in person (I live in Jersey) over the past month or so, mainly my Barber Half set (PCGS VF-XF) now that it's sort of finished. I'll say this, it's a real eye opener to see which coins will and will not sticker, I have been fortunate to have John Albanese actually sit down and explain why certain coins have not stickered, to be honest, his eye is better than mine and it's amazing some of the things that I have missed, mainly doctored coins. I have a PCGS VF25 06-O in an early blue tag holder, In my experience these coins are often conservatively graded. It's as nice as an XF40 and I thought it had a good shot at a gold sticker. Nope, the right obverse field has been lightly tooled to remove a scratch/hit. I missed it, PCGS missed it, CAC didn't. And I have a pretty good eye with these coins, I've been running at a 94% success rate with my submissions of raw Barbers to PCGS. Bill[/QUOTE]
