How do you feel when CAC rejects your coin for a sticker?

CoinstartledCoinstartled Posts: 10,135 ✭✭✭✭✭
  1. Do you see the coin in a less favorable light?
  2. Are you inclined to let a potential buyer know so at least it he doesn't spend the time and money to resubmit.
  3. Do you buy a half gallon of grey goose and just figure, what the hell?

    Depends on the coin, I feel disappointed if I felt the coin was a sure-fire CAC candidate, but if I was just sending a coin hoping for the best, I don't feel any worse than before.

    That is where the half gallon of grey goose comes in.

    After three screwdrivers, all coins look like winners.

    No impact.

    If coin stickers markup equation adjusted reflect (higher) CAC bid in sheet.

    How do you know that you missed something? I've had a coin fail only to resubmit it later and it passes on the second attempt.

    I'm nonchalant. If it was a coin I had planned on selling in the near future, I spend a few more minutes trying to come up with a good marketing hook.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Slightly disappointed and usually I try and find why it didn't get the sticker; however getting one or not does not lessen or heighten my enjoyment of my coins at all.

    Since I don't sell coins I've never felt the need to get CAC approval. Maybe later.
    My coins have my approval.

    First, my apologies in advance as I’m not trying to start the same CAC debate over and over again (yet here I am posting my comment - LOL). Second, I fully agree with you 100% that YOUR approval counts the most!

    I’ve decided, at least for me, it pays to spend the $14.50, so when my heirs sell my collection (which unfortunately they have absolutely no desire to keep), they’ll have a better chance of receiving fair value. Secondly, whether one wants to acknowledge it or not, todays market recognizes the value of coins with CAC stickers, and they regularly sell for premiums higher than the $14.50 cost. With some dates/grades the premiums can be significant. Finally, with submissions of coins by collectors that don’t get a CAC, the $14.50 is refunded.

    So with the above in mind, why would one not submit all of their “eligible” coins above a certain value (perhaps $300 - $500) to CAC? Perhaps like @Coinstartled is implying, some of us are disappointed when our coins are “not passed”, and we want to avoid that disappointment? Just my two cents worth.

    As long as the Cert Number remains the same, and the coin was not upgraded to the next higher number, they’ll automatically reapply the sticker for just $3 each!

    I feel like the POS my coin has proven to be. ;)
    I feel as terrible as I feel exhilaration when I get a gold sticker. :)
    I feel like strangling the unscrupulous soul who sold me the coin. :open_mouth:

    Actually, it really depends on the coin, the value, the reason. My reaction could range from “Oh, well” to “This is an outrage!” Same range of responses to professional grading, more generally.

    Wb no biggie for me - so what (I may even think it’s a C coin myself) it’s the opinion of one guy (sticker if he thinks A or B coin) and I doubt I agree with him on everything.

    If c coin I am likely not in it for that much and probably already have it discounted.

    I usually pay John a visit when I have a coin for review. I am of course disappointed if the coin fails to sticker but I have learned something every time. I have only been surprised to the upside once on a significant coin. All coins that have failed, I have expected it.

    Yes
    Are you inclined to let a potential buyer know so at least it he doesn't spend the time and money to resubmit.
    Generally, yes
    Do you buy a half gallon of grey goose and just figure, what the hell?
    No ... Boubon or Scotch preferred.

    I have learned something from every submission to CAC. I think I know what I am doing, but he is one of the best. And I don't always agree with his decisions, but I almost always know why he did or did not sticker a coin....or he tells me. Its great input.

    What is the failure of the TPG's you are referring to based on the (at least green bean) of 'strong for grade'? I can understand your point for gold beans as strong (but certainly not guaranteed) for upgrade potential.

    I got asked how I felt. I replied _Indifferent. _ Note the punctuation aka the period after "Indifferent". Now, was there a need for me to have received anything less than a "green bean" if the TPGs had been so "spot on" in their grading?

    Forget it.

    Just tell me where you around in the 1970s ?? The 1980s? When common date dollars in 65s brought $850. ? Have you ever listened to an analogy of why an 1885 P Morgan was 7 times "rarer" than an 1881-S , but priced only 50% more? All based on population reports?

    Look what I think is different than how I "feel". You really had to have lived through it all and loved coins so much that you realized not all coins had to have a "bean" or whatever those two new services are touting.

    Last coin I bought is in VF 20 no beans. And I really wasn't going to respond LOL

  • matt_dacmatt_dac Posts: 961 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was in rural Maine.

    I don’t understand your reply entirely, but the green bean means strong for grade, per their opinion. It does not mean a coin should be graded higher. Gold bean means a candidate for a higher grade, but I’ve only ever seen gold beans on old slabs.
