Most collectors I know look at the green cac sticker/brand as top of the ladder when it comes to originality and quality. Why not slab them with no green bean or better yet send them back in body bags and not sticker at all. I would prefer to walk t…

Do you think like with the sticker service there will be no charge to the collectors only for failed crossovers?
Gosh, I hope they charge for all submissions! Otherwise, that’s going to double+ the turnarou…
Before I say what I’m about to say. Know that I only focus on Seated Dollars. And I know I’m in the minority on this.
I personally put very little trust in PCGS or NGC. The amount of trash I see in straight graded plastic is sickening. I look at th…
I think there is a fair number of cac collectors who are ocd. And as long as cac is still stickering coins. It will affect The number of submissions to cacg. From what I’m hearing and reading most people prefer the idea of having pcgs and cac. So I …
I agree with @Legend on this. The prices paid for rare plastic is out of control. Many times the coins are not special at all. I think it’s smart advice to listen to and not pay 8k for a $250 coin just because of the slab it’s in.
@acspatriot13 I …
I like "Coins with character"
"Coins that worked"
"Paid their due’s "
"working girls"
Here is one I heard at a gentleman’s club years ago that fit well there and might also work for circulated coinage.
"She had a rough life, but she’ll ma…

I wonder about some coins that have been cleaned a long time ago and are straight graded by a TPG... should CACG straight grade them and also note that they were cleaned a long time ago on the label? Or should they just be a deta…
The NGC brand is tainted. To much trash has made its way into straight graded holders. And once it gets in the holder straight graded, it might as well be a coffin because it will never get cracked out. Lots of the better coins that somehow did end …
I vote to leave any reference NGC or PCGS off of your new holders. I don’t see the point of referencing them. Their standards are not what we are seeking. The only way I could see it making sense is if a deal was cut with pcgs that if their cert was…
Some great suggestions posted here. After seeing the pics of the new slab. I personally don’t like the sticker on the reverse and don’t know anyone who really does. I am now in the camp that believes all CAC slabs should have a sticker on the obvers…
JA- First let me say that I don’t own any of these coins nor do I know the owners of these coins. And I also understand if you don’t want to comment on a specific coin that you are not able to view in hand. But I figured I’d give this a shot because…
I don’t collect moderns and don’t know anything about them. Heck, I really don’t care about that portion of the market. I am only speaking about what I know and that’s the seated market.
NGC definitely has a cemented reputation and in the stuff I c…
Crossovers to CAC-
I think this will most likely effect the classic coin market (seated coinage for sure). My NGC CAC coins will all be headed to CAC for crossovers as soon as the service is available. I’m not the only one who is planning this move…
Good morning Seated Nut. This “nightmare scenario “ has been playing out for years. Many coins are currently being downgraded to earn a sticker - we see this on a daily basis. JA
JA, I agree that some have cracked out hoping for the lesser grade…

Sorry, one more. So let’s say 85% of a series has not been beaned. Let’s say 1/4 were due to obvious problems (AT, etc) which means JA would never sticker them even if the grade were dropped from ms65 to Au58. That theo…
A little off subject. But for the CAC registry how will you determine the weight of each coin. For seated dollars I’d like to suggest the developers utilize the CAC population report rather then survival estimates.
