<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 653555, member: 19532&quot;]For most of this thread, I agree with Lehigh, ie, that CAC provides a valuable (though by no means required) service, if you don&#039;t like CAC, then ignore the beans, and there is a benefit to having John Albanese sign off on a grade, but...</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say this value/rarity grading is problematic and GD has a lot of this right.&nbsp; For instance in the Buffalo nickels, I have looked on-line at a few 26-S&#039;s in MS65 that are clearly 64 at best (not that I could afford them either way but it&#039;s nice to dream) and that makes me wonder about the ones that are graded 64.&nbsp; PCGS has graded eleven 26-S&#039;s in 65 but I have to wonder how many of them would really make that grade if the graders ignored the date and mintmark?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For what it&#039;s worth, there is not a single 26-S in 65 that has a CAC sticker on it so maybe John Albanese is not just following this value/rarity-plus grading like some have suggested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
