@Bidask Monday ?
Are you and JA having discussions as to when to approve?
No, we are not having discussions at this time. I'm just ready to go. I'm not a very patient person when it comes to grading World Coins. I g…

@MarkFeld @Seatedman @Bidask We do accept Modern World Coins. We hope to add vintage coins in the future. Mexico coins would be one of the first countries I would want to grade at CAC Grading. I'm ready to start grading Mexic…

PQ Approved coins offer no added value whatsoever to collectors. They do however carry a premium price tag on Barry Stuppler's website. Their coins had a very high failure rate with CAC, so they started their own outfit.

I have been aware of PQ stickers for some time but this appears to be a new operation. Did they buy the brand form the previous operators? Or reboot?
Certainly different with Dannreuther involved as chief grader .
I realize that this post will probably result in some negative replies. But seriously, why is this thread on this forum?
CAC and CACG have nothing to do with world coins. And there are countless other topics that would be of interest to various for…
Not only a nice original MS 63 which I think NGC graded correctly but this date/mint is described as " extremely rare "in Mike Dunigan's classic book "RESPLANDORES"

The Cap & Rays series are high up on my list of areas of World Coins to be a part of the CACG initial roll out if JA ever allows us to expand into World Coin Grading. That's the largest area of my personal world coin collection at the m…

“i also don't regret breaking the record …..”
For rare coins that are all there grade wise and do not come up often ….bidding that involves breaking a former record price may be a smart thing to do , especially if the co…
@Bidask I'm glad you let me know about your interest in Mexican & Latin coins. I'll keep that in mind once we start moving in that direction. I would love to at least offer a stickering service for World Coins. However, I would need some help fr…
Glad you were inspired by the likes of Kyle Ponterio!
I have the number one registry at PCGS for mexican cap & rays 8 reales . I know a bit about Latin as well and the profound collectors in that space !

This is undoubtably solid data.
Well hold on a second, this comment leads me to believe you doubt that the NGC bias is market wide? I’ll concede that only some people believe that CACG L < CACG non L, but the NGC ma…
Good morning. The “L” designation was incepted to prevent gradeflation in future decades. There’s a long explanation somewhere in an interview I believe. I’ll try to find it and post here. Also - I have personally witnessed in the grading room, man…
I once bought and owned a bust left MS 65 US 1807 $5 classic gold coin ( guess the slab ) .
Held on to it for a few years …it was my pride and joy .
Then I showed it to a prominent dealer ( guess who) who looked at the coin and told me it was put…
