Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1868135, member: 29751"]Quite frankly, after a few CAC threads recently, I'm not sure what to think of CAC anymore.  Despite what their website says, more than one savvy collector and big name dealer has said that the sticker means nothing more than that John Albanese is willing to make a market in the coin. The "A" and "B" versus "C" stuff seems to be something they can use to describe their business model to the submitting dealers and collectors -- but I don't honestly think that they can consistently tell the difference between a coin that's A, B, or C. So, to answer your question, I have no idea if it CACed or not.  The main reason why is because I am not John Albanese, so I can't know what he is thinking.  I have seen far too many coins that I find to be highly attractive, original, and high end for the grade that have failed at CAC.  And, I have seen others that passed CAC that are real dogs and I wouldn't touch if they were graded 2 grades lower than their assigned grade.  In the end, collect what you like -- if you like what JA likes, then I guess collect CACed coins.[/QUOTE]
