"+" graded coins and CAC

Sandhawk

Will all PCGS coins that have a "+" grade get a green bean if submitted to CAC?

TomB

Maybe. Maybe not.

No. Think about it. If they did why would anyone send them in to CAC? The plus sign would replace the CAC sticker.

NO NO NO!
Ive seen many 66+ st's that didnt sticker.

Now poof!

I don't understand the "no" replies...here is a PCGS + with a CAC sticker and there are plenty more like it.

I expect most "+" coins will be accepted by CAC but I would not depend on it.

JRocco

I would think they should get a green bean.

rkfish

thus far I have had 12 + coins get the sticker and one + coin that didn't........so to answer your question, no, not always.

I have a + CAC Morgan.

They're out there.

A good percentage of NGC star coins also get a green bean from what I've seen.

The way I understand it, even with a plus, CAC is only agreeing with the base grade and not the plus. If I'm wrong I'm sure many will shoot me down immediately. Also, IMO, I feel many collectors think otherwise and feel they are confirming the plus. I got my info when JA mentioned this when the plus program started.

I've got an MS63+ $10 that got a green bean.

Tom, I think he was asking if all + coins would sticker at the beloved Certified Acceptance Corporation.

According to CAC, they cert the upper 2/3's of any given grade, so in theory all "+" coins should sticker, right? That said, I wonder how many "+" coins have not stickered?

I thought the green bean was PQ for the grade. Meaning if it is PQ for MS64+, then it will get a green bean, but if it is just regular MS64+ it won't.

Just tougher to define the difference I guess.

D'oh!!! You are correct in that I read the post as "a" instead of "all". Sorry.

Cac will not sticker the coin if they believe it is AT even if it's graded by pcgs with a plus.

This is truly getting counter productive

One could like the color on a piece, the other find it's originality questionable.

PawPaul

..........I never sent a coin to be Cac'd and I never will

CAC changed their terminology ; no longer do they give their bean for a P.Q interpretation ,

now the bean means "solid for the grade"

You might as well ask, "Will all professional graders arrive at the same grade for every coin?"

Obviously this forum is finally more oriented to coin business than the coin collecting hobby. Cheers, RickO

CAC often denies the green bean because of tiny coin flaws that did not bother PCGS. No way will ALL PCGS plus coins earn the green bean, or much less the gold sticker.

Can you please tell us what you mean by "tiny coin flaws"?

Thanks
