Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes? -PCGS, -Groucho Marx

Take a hard look at any coin before bidding or purchasing. Make sure it aligns with your collecting standard and goals. PCGS gets it wrong as much or more than NGC or ANACS in my opinion. The CAC thing surprised me a bit. I've noticed CAC is liberal with the stickers on some high end tarnished/toned coins, but the coin posted is not on the upper end of any AU grade for an open 3 in my opinion.

And some ANACS coins are more conservatively graded than NGC! I mean, of course a few fails here and there, but I disagree with NGC more often than ANACS.

Of course they don't. They can't pay PCGS or even NGC prices for ANACS coins and expect to stay in business. Having a different price tier for ANACS than the other two which they would have to do would just devalue their brand, hence they only sticker the top two

This coin is not the only example of a beaned coin that makes you wonder what is going on. The Bean is a way for folks to make lots of $$$$. Period. What's next? Someone starting the "bean the bean" service to offer 3 opinions on a coin? So you can REALLY be sure it "makes the grade"?
