- The older slabs that bring a premium should be designated imo. It gives a buyer a reason to step up above grey sheet to grab a nice coin. The old NGC Fattys, Anacs Soap Boxes, doilys, OGH, OBH, rattlers and the like that tend to be perceived as possibly undergraded seem to get pretty good bids. What would really be cool is a breakdown by year graded and what holders were used from the major 3. Maybe it already exists but would love to have a poster with em all and dates to put on the wall in the coin room.The older slabs that bring a premium should be designated imo.

- I am mixed on this, I have seen OBH for Old Blue Holder other places but I dont know if they are as significant as a OGH. A series holder does garnish its own attention for various reasons, I think if there is a way to note it where it is not confusing to those who don't know what a series holder is that would work.I am mixed on this, I have seen OBH for Old Blue Holder other places but I dont know if they are as significant as a OGH.

- Can't seem to find it, but I recall seeing one on either a regency slab or early 1080. Also possible it was a special edition holder with the barcode/serial number on the back of the slab insert. I don't it's out of the question cac would do that, especially in the early daysCan't seem to find it, but I recall seeing one on either a regency slab or early 1080.

Where do you think CAC fits in there today?[ToddPollock] Just a little off topic for a second. PCGS, NGC and ANACS have for years been considered to top 3 TPG'ers.

- MONKEYROCKET CACG considers themselves the most conservative grading company. According to market pricing, this is accurate. Any CAC stickered or CACG slabbed coin commands a premium over the others. The premium depends on market demand and supply, like anything else. A 1884 O Morgan Dollar graded MS64 (common silver dollar) with a CAC sticker will have little effect on price compared to a 1897 O DMPL with a CAC sticker. The 1897 O is scarce in DMPL in any grade but only a handful have a CAC approval so the value could double with just a green sticker.[MONKEYROCKET] CACG considers themselves the most conservative grading company.
