    Despite initial confusion (perhaps intentional, perhaps not) about the sticker, it is not approved by Bill the Cat's grading service..... GAAAAACK

    ignore the reverse, seems its a POP/1, deserving of a strong bid here.

    IMHO, there is no reason (I can think of) CAC should not sticker world coins. The only drawback for them would be authenticity but the TPGS covers that. I predict they will eventually when submissions slow down. Hopefully, one day, they may decide to sticker coins in any TPGS slab BUT certifying world coins will come first.

    Neither sticker nor coin are Unc....

    John has said he isn't comfortable with them. It sounds like a good reason to me.

    That may be what he said but I'd be shocked if JA and anyone on his team would not be in the top 15% of world coin graders and I'm being conservative with my percentage.

    Besides, he could only sticker the ones that he was comfortable with! :p . Let's see what happens. :wink:

    PS Remember, the coins are ALREADY GRADED. I've had students that could sticker the things!!!

    That sticker is about as authentic as the slab, and coin.

    Full disclosure: I (yours truly) made the sticker. :D I couldn’t help myself when I saw this fake slab (and coin)

    The fake slab belongs to a friend. It’s in no danger of being sold to anyone.

    It would likely start with British coins first if it expands if that is any consolation to you.

    I can't imagine why anyone would think having CAC come into the world coin market would be a good idea. Other than the dealers who would feast on it.

    It’s no consolation at all because British has been a point of interest for me over last few years. Since I have a sampling coins from a more than 900 year interval, that would a big territory for CAC to cover well. Hammered coins are a totally different animal than the milled coinage, which are similar to the U.S. coins that CAC has been reviewing.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Hammered would probably be the toughest and probably safe at least.

    Foreign dealers and collectors frowned on the US slab market. Now the two top TPGS's have branches overseas. There will be a CAC type "opportunity" at some time for someone with foreign coins. Wings is all there is now and a person with deeper pockets could possibly overshadow them.
