I’m not a fan of the CACG slab. Big and clunky. It does not match their premium image and it needs a redesign.
If I have a PCGS CAC coin, I can always turn it into a CACG coin of the same grade with no risk whenever I want. The same does not work in reverse.
Err same size as PCGS slabs, do the proof experiment. I did. 32 PCGS slabs fit in my intecept shield boxes lined up but don’t fit together and make a mess. 32 CACG slabs fit in my intercept shield boxes lined up, and fit together perfectly. Go figure………
Why does the same not work in reverse? Well that is a separate thread in itself. CACG bashing is what this thread is all about……………..

Re: 1875 twenty cent piece die pairing, BF-2 or BF-3?
This is the BF-3 date position.
There are relatively few known, because it is a more recent discovery,
after the first version of the attribution guide was published.
So not that many people checked for it when they examined their coins with the original version of the attribution guide.
There is a natural negative feedback with new discoveries.
They are initially rare, because relatively few coins have been checked to match them.
Then people check their coins, hoping to find a rare and hopefully valuable one.
More finds are made in this process, and then the rarity is reduced to account for the new finds.
