CACs on my Franklin Proof Cameo Registry set

[JIM F.]

3 of them came back with CAC stickers.

 

Thank You.

 

It's a bonus.

Only 3 out of 15 came back with CAC stickers? Which ones stickered?

That's it, huh?

Well, 6 of them are PF-69 and PF-69* CAM so didn't really expect them to get a CAC anyway, right? Another 5 are PF-68 CAM also. The ones that CAC'd are graded PF65 to PF-67 CAM.

 

So that makes 3 out of 4 CAC'd in that grade range, so not so bad when one thinks of it.

 

I submitted a bunch of other stuff -- most noteworthy is that my PCGS AU-55 1652 Mass 3-pence received a bean, so that was nice.

They probably won't harm the coins or holders, so it's OK.

I heard that CAC stickers are acidic and burn through NGC slabs. They are a bane to the market I tells ya! Evil!

I think it is the conversations about them that are acidic.....

I don't see why one would submit their coins to a TPG and then to CAC. Why not cut out the middle-man and convince CAC to become a Slabbing TPG...since their opinion matters so much.

[JOBESSI]

...or for that matter, get the top 2 TPG's in the bean business. Send your NGC coin across the street for a PCGS bean of approval & vice versa.

[JOBESSI]

...or ppl can send them to me, and i'll stick a jelly bean sticker on there that either says "You have spent your $30 at the TPG wisely" or one that just says "dummy." and then charge $10 for it.

I'd go for this. However, I want to know what color the "dummy" sticker would be.

CAC will sticker coins in the PF68 to PF69 range. The most likely culprit for some of them not stickering may have been that CAC disagreed with the cameo designation. Also, if any have any toning (and yes I have seen NGC PF69 cameo coins with splotchy toning ), that could have been the culprit.

This is what matters the most. I don't think most proof Franklin collectors are insisting on CAC stickers (based on my observation of the market); however, I bet that there are some buyers who would appreciate the CAC sticker on the colonial.

I have a toned proof Franklin in my type set that received a gold sticker. It is in a PCGS PF67 Cameo holder. I was very pleased as I love the coin itself, and the gold sticker just adds to it. Well worth the $10 investment.

How did you interpret the gold sticker? Should the coin be PF68 or a PF67 with some Cameo designation?
