    1889 Seated Lib 25c PCGS PR66 to PCGS PR67+ Cameo.

    A stunning neon pastels coin that I paid double retail for in a Heritage sale, then cracked it out and sent it back to our host 4 years later.

    (green CAC, before and after)

    Not a good look for CAC here.

    Agree. If CAC gave this coin a green sticker as a 67+, why didn't it get a gold CAC sticker when it was a 66?

    I had an old Irish guilt piece that went from AU58 (NGC) to MS64 (NGC). I expected a decent bump but not like that.

    Five number jump? Stories like this really give me pause about the accuracy of the number system used for grading coins.
