  Edited: I was just informed that apparently my sources were incorrect at 1/8000 for the gold. I'll edit this post if I can ascertain the true number! Sorry about that, guys!
  
  Ok, turns out the real percentage for Gold CAC is somewhere around .25-.3%, or 1 out of every 300-400. I will contact my previous source to let them know they were incorrect! Sorry for the mistake, guys!

  Awhile back, I believe it was around 40%.

  I understood 40% pass and 50% on commems. Also, .002 get the gold. My opinion is they have gotten tighter.

  That's what I was told by two sources.

  It may seem a little tighter, but perhaps I have been a little less discriminating in what I submit.

  Your math is incorrect. One divided by 8,000 and then expressed as a percentage is 0.0125%.

  Doh! You're right, I forgot to multiply by 100! Sorry about that!
  
  Still a very small number! Lol

  Just as a follow-up question - does anyone think CAC has gotten looser?
  
  Better yet, HAs anyone noted that CAC standards have changed? That is more unbiased.

  ...is it possible to re-submit?

  I'm still happy with the TPG that hosts us - don't need a FPG.

  Since this is still here, I'll answer.
  
  1. Personally I average about 60%.
  
  2. I don't see any change in their standards.

  First two submissions, 2010: 6 for 7
  Third submission, 2011: 0 for 3
  
  Running total, 60%, all gold
  
  Got a 4th in process, we'll see.
  
  HTH.
  
  Edit: To clarify, when I say "all gold", I'm referring to the type of coin (no motto gold), not the color of the sticker. All stickers I've gotten are *green*.
