In my experience, they like and dislike all 3 of your categories. What they don't like - overgraded coins and human assisted coins including too cleaned and intentionally enhanced (overdipped, spot removal etc.). Of course, all of these categories are subjective calls with lots of grey area.

Those options represent an overly simplistic view. I’ve gotten stickers in all three of your categories and been denied on all three too.
Generally I’d say they dislike coins they feel are overgraded or have unforgivable problems.
I've had dipped out (by NCS) coins cac, as well as original coins with hits; my guess is the deal killers are coins with problems with a history of coming back to haunt them on their guarantee program.
Then why not just ask if they dislike darkly toned coins?
ALL other things being equal, there might be something to this, but it really depends on the series. Mostly, it depends on the coin. There’s a fine line between darkly toned and environmental damage. Anything close they generally shy away from.
OK... So... 'What is....' the poll all about??? I voted because I could definitely agree with the offered choice... but still not understanding the purpose of the poll.... Cheers, RickO
I think that CAC is looking for coins with good eye appeal. It goes almost without saying that they are looking for coins that are properly graded. They will reject coins that have been "processed" where the processing is too obvious. I agree with them on all of these points.
The place where we part company is where a coin has a rub and has been graded at a Mint State level where the extra grading point(s) significantly raises the price. I have thought about this, and that really is the main bone of contention for me. I also have had issues where circulated pieces that have been net graded for significant probllems that have gotten stickers, but I have not seen an instance of that for a few years.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Hey! What's this "shy away from?"
This mostest expertest examination company should NEVER have to "shy away from." Shoot, that insinuates that full and complete certainty of opinion is not in the equation.

...when you add an option for “my coins” then I can vote

this is correct in a nutshell.

d. No one knows for sure and they ain't about to tell you.
Mystery is part of the excitement.

They hate dark toned coins?
This 1860-O half dollar has a CAC sticker.
