r.e: CAC'd slabbed coin. Do they have some kind of registry to track & authenticate them?

How secure are those stickers on their holders? Can it be peeled and reapplied on another holder for scamming purposes? How can you authenticate that very coin is the CAC'd coin?

they maintain a database of stickered coins, you can look up the cert. #

If you peel a CAC sticker off it will leave behind VOID...so I've been told...but I'm not about to try it though.

I have read that the stickers are 'tamper resistant'... I do not recall seeing 'tamper proof'....and there is a difference....Of course, being able to verify by cert number is the best way. Cheers, RickO
while on this subject, i hope thy maintain good backups of that database. imagine the value of that data!
The data base on line represents most of that information. We all have access to see it. The coins in the market place with stickers identify themselves. What I'd much prefer access to is CAC's "other" data bases (if they exist) on specific details of coins they receive (ie ones that they might deem to be very strong for the grade but not gold worthy, or at the low end of sticker range, or if gold...how many points higher they think it is). For 5 figure and up coins I would think they might have such data. I know if I owned CAC, I'd want that data available to me so I know exactly what I can offer for specific coins of note months or years down the road....long after I've forgotten the details. Then again, maybe I'm hallucinating.
The assurance is important for added trust on those stickered holders. Thank you all for sharing your expertise.
