question for new walker acquisition

image


My recent Ebay win for this 1942-s ms-66 cac WLH has me wondering if PCGS keeps a record of the coins they put a CAC sticker on. The sticker can easily be peeled off another holder and put on this one. I guess the CAC sticker can be given and not have the + added to the ms number. Can someone clear this up for me. Gary

    they do keep a record
    and it will be hard to peel off and put on another coin I assume

    CAC puts on the sticker, not PCGS.

    I think you meant if CAC keeps a record of PCGS coins they sticker?

    PCGS does not sticker coins, CAC does. They have a certification verification tool available on their website.

    Not they can't. Try it if you don't believe me.

    Sounds like you have a ittle to learn about CAC and green beans.

    But you sure know your Walkers. That is a beauty.

    Congrats on a great pickup. image

  • Mike, you're right about me not knowing "beans" about CAC and I do take great pride in the toned walkers in my PCGS and NGC registry sets. I'll log into the CAC website and check out the two CAC coins I own.

    Another board member here claims that the green beans can be removed and replanted onto other slabs.

    How hard would it be to fake the sticker?

    Stickers cannot 'easily' be removed and reused.... the sticker was designed to prevent that. However, as in all things made by humans, (i.e. locks, codes etc), the truly devious will/have found a way. Cheers, RickO
