Is CAC desirable for low ball coins?

Zoins

I was just looking at a PCGS PO-01 CAC and wondering if this is desirable or not for low ball collectors as a CAC would not be the lowest of the low.

Gold CAC would really mess things up.

I sent them a lot of lower value/lower grade coins over the years, without a lot of economic benefit; I suppose you could and the "approval" means they like the coin and most serious collectors would too because it is original.

Really?? I had no idea they would sticker coins at that level....Thinking about it, there is no reason not to approve it...Just counter intuitive.... Cheers, RickO

I hope this low-ball thing is just a passing fad. I just cannot see the appeal except maybe on a few ultra rare coins.

if CAC stickers an AG3 are they saying it's closer to a G4 or a PO1??

No
With a green bean anyway, it would signify in their opinion it's an 'A' or 'B' coin for AG3. A gold bean would suggest a possibly higher grade.

Here's an example from my collection:

Maybe they need to have a reverse sticker system for the low ball coins after all its hard to get a Poor1 from PCGS!

Because you cannot see the appeal, why do you hope it is a passing fad?

Matt, my comment was meant tongue-in-cheek.

Tired of hearing about it.

Since the Lowball craze is based solely upon numerical grade, it does not matter one way or the other.

Just like a gold sticker will not give you any additional points for a high-ranking, normal registry set.

Different strokes for different folks.

You could always just give your money away...

How about a BLACK BEAN for, "Worse for the grade?"

This craziness with low ball is at least 10years and going strong I don’t think it’s a fad anymore
