While many do prefer PCGS/CAC, I'm also fine with NGC/CAC. The reason I'd stay with either of those is that CACG >will slab many coins that would not get a sticker. They're slabbing details coins (so noted). They're slabbing "C" coins >that would not sticker at grade. So, there's no guarantee that a coin in a CACG MS64 (for example) holder would get >a sticker in an MS64 holder from PCGS or NGC. Or are they downgrading the "C" coins?
Is this true ? My understanding from the CAC Forums and from folks commenting here was that "interchangeability" of TPG+CAC being equal to CACG was pretty much the norm.
Details coins may or may not be a change of policy from the CAC sticker days, since the coins were already graded/holdered....but giving "C" coins the numerical grade that "B" and "A" coins merit ? That's a big change, I hadn't seen that posted here or over at CAC or from JA.
Hope some vets/experts can clarify CACG vs. TPG+CAC Bean standards.
Based on posts on the CAC forum, the intent of CACG is not to have C-quality coins in their straight-grade holders. Instead, their aim is to grade such coins a point lower with a plus in most cases.

I’ll bite - what’s the name, and if “originality” is required, does that mean that SLQ’s, Walker’s, Franklin’s, Morgan and Peace Dollars that have been quickly and gently dipped will not receive their sticker?
Steve
Of course not. I have seen plenty of white coins that were obviously dipped with CAC stickers. As long as they have good eye appeal, they will still receive the sticker. That T2 1917 SLQ that you recently posted is a perfect example.
I don’t think the post to which Steve replied pertained to CAC stickers.
What is he talking about then?
I don’t know, but the description didn’t sound like it was CAC:
“ I really like the new “watchdog” company stickers and I’m told they will sticker all 4 brands if deemed worthy. CACG, PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. They sticker based on a system based on both originality and eye appeal.”
Okay👌 Thanks for the clarification. 😉
You’re welcome and I think it was probably a failed joke.

Help me understand. What are these "new" watchdog stickers that can be applied to all four brands? Who issues these stickers?

As I wrote in my previous post, it was probably a failed joke. Perhaps @ScarsdaleCoin will clarify.

OK. I missed that.
Thanks, Mark, that's what I thought but I realize things can change over time, so glad to hear your expertise on this matter.
