Question About CAC Stickering Policy for CAM/DCAM Coins

FlyingAl

In my example, say I have a coin that is a PR66. If the coin has CAM surfaces, would that qualify it for a green sticker, regardless of how it looks as a 66? (When I say regardless, I mean it is correctly graded as a 66. It just may not be a coin that CAC would normally sticker if it was a brilliant proof). Essentially, if a coin is undergraded designation wise, would CAC recognize that with a sticker?

The same question goes if the coin is a solid PR65 that would normally get a green sticker. If it had CAM surfaces, does that make it eligible for a gold? (The coin is undergraded designation wise.)

You could sum up this to does CAC care if a coin has CAM or DCAM surfaces when the coin is not designated as such, or do they only look at the numerical grade?

Thanks!

Coins need to meet CAC’s standards at the assigned numerical grade (and if applicable, the designation) in order to receive a green sticker. And they need to exceed the assigned numerical grade (and if applicable, meet the designation) in order to be considered for a gold sticker.

The addition of a Cameo or Deep Cameo designation won’t cause a coin to sticker if it wouldn’t do so on its own numerical merits.

Likewise, even if a Proof coin is clearly deserving of a Cameo or Deep Cameo designation, but not so-designated, that, alone, won’t make it eligible for a gold sticker.

Sounds good to me!

Right on!

And it will likely get you a sticky-note to that effect (deserving of a CAM), or maybe even a phone call. Good question FlyingAl

Excellent, exactly what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
