!!! -- A New Sticker Added To The Crazy ? -- !!

Kudbegud · May 12, 2019 4:55PM

Saw this for the first time today. The Eye Appeal sticker. Wut ????? Anybody else seen this or own any with this sticker or believe this adds value?

The photo of the coin with the sticker was so off color balance and focus an evaluation of the eye appeal was impossible to judge. Worthy of an Eye Appeal sticker? Can't say.

Broadstruck · May 12, 2019 5:08PM

Saw their website a few months ago and LMAO

Smudge · May 12, 2019 5:23PM

Well it is a "secret criteria". Must be good. Sarcasm intended.

mkman123 · May 12, 2019 5:26PM

I'm so glad I'm collecting world coins now, don't have to worry about all the different stickers!!

blitzdude · May 12, 2019 5:26PM

prettier than the more known green one but equally as dumb.

RogerB · May 12, 2019 5:29PM

More silliness.

dagingerbeasttt · May 12, 2019 5:30PM

More overpriced stickers to add extra premium. IMO its getting out of hand.

Kudbegud · May 12, 2019 5:37PM

The claim is that the Eye Appeal sticker adds a 21% premium. Call me a skeptic but I'd like some proof by auction sales or other means of that claim.

DIMEMAN · May 12, 2019 5:44PM

LMAO!! This is even a bigger joke than cac!

Hemispherical · May 12, 2019 6:05PM

Reminds me of the “service” that came out after 1 April about getting a sticker for a blast white coin or something to that effect.

Wonder how many of these stickers or any others we’ll see in the future.

It could be unique unless anybody else says they have a slab with this sticker or has seen more with them.

Hey, that could make it worth more than the 21% premium. LOLOL

CharlotteDude · May 12, 2019 6:16PM

Whelp... time to go back to purchase more sticker card stock and re-adjust my printer settings.

COINS MAKE CENTS · May 12, 2019 6:24PM

Before you know it slabs will have so many stickers on them you wont beable to see the coin

LJenkins11 · May 12, 2019 6:42PM

The paying market already shows favorably towards certain third party graders over others and the paying market clearly shows willingness to pay additional premiums for certain third party sticker add-ons. The sticker service isn't going away anytime soon just as the TPG's aren't going away anytime soon. The market will establish which stickers receive which premium.

Twobitcollector · May 12, 2019 6:46PM

The only sticker I want on my coins

Goldminers · May 12, 2019 7:13PM

That sticker has no eye appeal to me. Distracts too much from viewing the rare plastic slab label chosen for the coin.

BillJones · May 12, 2019 7:19PM

This is what I’ve been waiting for for years.

AUandAG · May 12, 2019 7:35PM

How can they be objective and down to a science at the same time?

I don't get it. My lips are sealed.

ms70 · May 12, 2019 8:25PM

If there's anything none of us need help with it's eye appeal.

morgandollar1878 · May 12, 2019 8:58PM

Sooner or later slabs are going to start looking like a sticker covered camper going down the highway.

Coin Finder · May 12, 2019 10:39PM

No thanks not for me...

I assume it is satire. It is worth as much as those glittery stickers you can buy from Walmart.

ricko · May 13, 2019 5:38AM

Eye appeal is as subjective as grading....Some like blondes, some like redheads....some don't care about the drapery.... Cheers, RickO

Kudbegud · May 13, 2019 8:52AM

So how many stickers are there, not counting different colors from the same people? I count CAC and this one and I know there are more that are on the tip of my tongue but won't reveal themselves to conscientiousness. Don't you hate when that happens?

COINS MAKE CENTS · May 13, 2019 8:53AM

Only a few more years and they will look like this

That implies that you think CAC is a joke. Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but I thought you had posted previously that you didn't bash CAC.

BryceM · May 13, 2019 8:59AM

I’m at a loss for words.

At least they can be peeled off.

Dave99B · May 13, 2019 9:36AM

Lunacy. Before long, there will be so many stickers on the slab you won't be able to see the actual coin.

The good thing is you won't need to, as the twenty-four stickers will insure it's a high-end total creampuff!

Did a Google search for "Graded Coins Stickers". None of these were on the tip of my tongue.

WINGS

wingscoins.com/
Established in 2008, WINGS® reviews World Coins, all Tokens and Medals (foreign and US) and Ancient Coins that have been graded by PCGS, NGC, ICG, ANACS or ICCS (Canadian Grading Service). If the review results in our opinion that the item is “Premium Quality” within the assigned grade then, it will receive the WINGS® Gold Sticker. If it is “Solid for the Grade” then it will receive the WINGS® Silver Sticker. WINGS® stickers are Fraud Proof and Tamper Proof.

QA✓

no info

It seems I remember more but can't find them. Anybody recollect more ?

BryceM · May 13, 2019 2:18PM

Well, lets not forget the original, Rick Snow's Eagle Eye Photo Seal. I always get a kick out of his add in The Numismatist where he congratulates JA on successfully copying his idea.

Kudbegud · May 13, 2019 2:47PM

Thanks @BryceM, that one is vaguely familiar.

I found another one who's stickers also use overprinting for upping the designation clarification.
MAC
macablege.com/

MAC – will apply to all modern issue coins, like the way CAC pertains to traditional coins. If your coin is MACABLE it means you have a modern coin of “PQ”- premium quality that is

I found the W sticker
Sight White

sightwhite.com/index.php/certification-service/
This standard, with the Sight White sticker should allow the dealer or collector to buy and sell coins without a big review process. This should make the acquiring of coins that do not have distracting marks much easier with a collection of coins that have been examined with that in mind.
Several dark spots are not for a Sight White collector

And for set verification
OSV

https://osv.expert/index.aspx
OSV is a verification service. We do not grade coins, buy coins, or sell coins. As an independent verification service, dealers and collectors alike, are assured that all sets stickered by OSV are indeed authentic and original.

TommyType · May 13, 2019 3:03PM

I had a coin with a MAC sticker on it! It was unceremoniously removed by the auction company before selling it for me. (Rather than being angry, I got a chuckle out of that.)

SO FAR, EVERY STICKER CAN BE REMOVED INTACT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

Concerning the OP's sticker. Someone is going to make $$$ from the dupes folks who use the service. It is "Capitalism" in action.

Cameonut · May 13, 2019 4:05PM

I believe this new service is of great value to blind coin collectors. Clearly a niche market.

Namvet69 · May 13, 2019 4:12PM

Now we need an anti-theft sticker!

WillieBoyd2 · May 13, 2019 4:14PM

You're going to need a bigger slab!

DiggerJim · May 13, 2019 4:17PM

Please don’t let our holders turn into the side of a NASCAR.

DiggerJim

yKnot · May 13, 2019 4:37PM

Is it just me or do some of these new off-shoot stickers tend to immediately lessen your interest in the coin as soon as you see it has one of these stickers? It does for me. Of course, if the coin is appealing to me I will see it, but generally I'm turned off almost immediately by these non-CAC stickers. I don't know why but subconsciously, I feel like the sticker is being added to prop up the coin vs. say getting a "star" or "plus" by the original TPGS.

blitzdude · May 13, 2019 5:21PM

Can't wait till the day I get to pay extra for a sticker that legitimizes the original sticker that legitimizes the slab which legitimized the coin I thought I was buying. Collectors are a nutty bunch. lol

BryceM · May 13, 2019 5:42PM

Collectors are an insecure bunch, clearly.

emeraldATV · May 13, 2019 9:01PM

Are they implying, this what my eyes are craving in respect to coloring?

AlexinPA · May 14, 2019 6:34AM

I can honestly say that I have NO sticker coins in my collection and have NO intention of every buying any.
