   Been away from numismatics for a while but the itch came back like it always has.

   << <i>Mark, Airplanenut, TomB wow didn't think you guys still posted here... So what do you guys think about fractional grading or is it really old news which I suspect it is... >> I neither care for, nor have much use of, fractional grading. However, I like the concept of CAC.

   Hey Shylock, good to see you back. You do know that CAC stickers come in two colors? There are still PQ coins out there as not everyone wants to pay for a shot at getting a sticker or plus or star. Note to newer members: Shylock has a tremendous knack of being able to spot Indian Head Cents that were worked on between…
