PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG all have QC issues at times. The reality is that good coin QC people know their stuff and won't stick around for long without aggressive raises and/or advancement opportunities.
The biggest problem with major shows (imho) is that dealers get in first and buy all the good stuff before collectors, then mark it up.
How many times do you go to a show and strike out, then keep coming back time after time? Eventually the one or …
In the old days when stickers were $12 or whatever, I sold a common-date rattler merc in 64 no bands that I thought was a shot gold CAC for $30 at eBay auction.

PS, turnaround time was AMAZING. Received last Thursday, shipped today. Thanks CAC!!
Did you have to pay $35 a pop with the Regular Tier suspension?
Howdy, yes I paid the $35. Happy to do so with the speed! I would vo…
George should have gotten no sticker at all.
Originally had it like that, but realized it was still green so I changed it to give him a green bean instead.
Can we see the coin please
I'll post some good pics when I have it back in hand, probably by Friday. CAC hasn't shipped it yet. But I think it's a 65BN today.
If you want to know specifically what I use myself, not my cheap backup, this is my grading light. I find the varying brightness ability to be quite handy when something seems to be hiding but doesn't pop initially. When you look at coins all day, i…

Do you have a good dedicated grading light right now?
If not, I'd suggest you get one. A lotta old timers use incadescents, but I swear by…
Not buying a slab because the hologram has issues is one of the dumbest things in this hobby, and this is coming from someone who likes rare slabs.
I don’t care about the generation of holder a coin is in. However, for those who do, I can underst…
The first two people don't intend to actually sell for those prices, they are just fishing. Hence the OBO. Numbers 3 and 4 are, I think, looking for speculators gambling on the end of cheap, risk-free stickers.

Coins “that would probably bean a grade up” isn’t the standard for a gold CAC sticker. So it’s unrealistic and unfair to be upset that such coins didn’t receive gold stickers.
Due to the lack of more objectivity and consistency in gr…

You sent 8 previously rejected coins in again in hopes of getting a green bean on 1 or more of them?
If so , that is exactly why fees must apply to all submissions regardless if they bean or not.
Sorry but to me that’s …

Did you get this one from RCNH? They had a very similar looking one for sale a few years ago, I reached out, they didn't respond, sent an email two days later, and sold it then. Never really gotten over it, so if that's the coin, I'd love to buy it …
This same 1941 MS 65 gold rattler Mercury Dime brought almost 3 times what it went for in March 2022. Does someone need this coin badly for a gold date Merc set or are older holders increasing in value? Posted after the auction ended. Brought more t…

If that’s your list of where the serious buyers are, you need to get out (a lot) more (and fast).

This dealer started with nothing as a teen yet is now one of the most successful certified coin dealers on Ebay:

Note the $250,000 1893-S Morgan that looks CAC-worthy.
That coin failed CAC as it's not PL.

You need to find a vest dealer that grades/cac's stuff but hates dealing with retail. That's the easy way to get more CAC material, if you aren't making it yourself.
That's basically what I do at this point. Buy coins, send to CAC, and then turn…
