The Best Coins and Holders

Zoins

Just ran across this image on the PCGS.com website. Thought it was worthy enough to mention here

Congrats to PCGS and all the owners!

Nice coins. I wonder why none of the coins are wearing a CAC sticker. At least one of them (the 1913 Eliasberg nickel) did eventually bean. I don't know about the rest.

Not sure. I wonder if JA has seen them all?

Couple of questions/observations to that:

• WHY? Why would anyone even think that PCGS would care to advertise another service, such as CAC, in its own marketing promotions? I mean, come on and think about that.
• Also, WHY, at the level of those coins, in the scheme of numismatics, would anyone really care about a CAC sticker? Sure, it still says "something" for the coin, but I mean, come on. Those are truly special coins that aren't around that often. And, I say this as a CAC supporter and someone who has submitted a few hundred+ coins to CAC (mine and fellow members/friends).

I still enjoy coins, and this forum, but too many people fixate on something and really need to just be open minded and/or collect what/as they like and let others do the same without all the negative commentary (sometimes "hidden" as attempted jokes.

I totally agree with @Bochiman... A CAC sticker on those coins would be totally superfluous. Most assuredly, it would not add value. Cheers, RickO

The 3 coins in the middle have been approved by CAC, however the owners didn't care to have the sticker on the label. CAC has not approved any 1804 dollars at this point.

Because it says that the best coins always end up in PCGS holders.

You're preaching to the choir. My question was truly meant to be genuine given that the 1913 did sticker. Given all the emphasis on CAC around here, I found it odd. It wasn't intended to be snarky.

Thank you!

Bochiman has a POTD. a CAC sticker would mean nothing to those coins and actually would clutter the insert.

Was there ever a time when a great rarity would be graded by one service. Then go to another service and be graded higher in a short period of time?

You may not believe this but I don’t own any of them

Does it really matter what holder it is in if it is a best coin ? I think copper and other colored coins look better with white background while large coins are more attractive with clear background.
