westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 5:54 pm Just what the coin business needs - Another grading company to grade the grading companies. https://cmq.stacksbowers.com/ I think the best comments are on "Ben the Coin Geek" Youtube video. Ben is a nice guy and honest dealer. I got to spend a little time with him a few months ago in Dallas at the Texas Numismatic Association coin show. We talked shop and I gave him a book to give away on his channel to a kid. iz8LvSaD_xA Quote: Some of my favorite YouTube comments... Never underestimate people's love for stickers. Stacks should create a larger slab to put over the existing slab. That would preserve the existing slab and stickers while giving more room for new stickers on the Stacks slab. I'm just a simple caveman numismatist, but I think I want all my slabs to look like a race car with 400 sponsor stickers on it. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 8:35 pm I think Ben (in the video) handles it really well, he is game to try the newest service out, and as a dealer, why not? Stack's has a long, long impressive history in the coin business. David Hall is one of the top dealer/wholeseller, and industry innovator creating the top tier TPG PCGS. The pair together (Stack's partnered with Q. David Bowers) is really the cream of the crop along with Heritage and a few other independent coin firms that have the power and money to make a service like this viable. It's a wait and see to watch how this will unfold over the next few years. As a dealer I'd rather be in on the ground floor early, than trying to join up after the service is over subscribed, so easy to see why Ben would want to try them (CMQ) out in the beginning. But then again I'm not one that needs every coin I own to be certified, I trust my own eye and my own knowledge in the coin biz. I'm not a coin dealer any more, but if I was, I'd also be standing in line to try CMQ out as well. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 01:29 am Well certainly we need a meta-slab for the rare slab collectors who collect the old slabs by generation. The meta-slab grades the condition of the slab. Is it scratched? Is the label well-centered? Was the dot matrix printer ribbon early or late ink state? Then there would be stickers on the meta-slab telling us whether the grade of the old slab is A, B or C for the grade, has exceptional eye appeal, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 05:17 am Ok yes great points @kbb, but does that mean that rattlers would get a details designation on the meta-slab or would these be considered error slabs?

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 5:40 pm Didn't the rattlers rattle as-minted? I don't really know, that's why I'll rely on the professional slab graders. Report this Post to the Staff
psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1747 Posts	Posted 09/13/2023 11:39 am I think this is an interesting development. It is certainly an alternative for those like me who never signed up for CAC and seemingly will not be able to. Perhaps they are looking to take over for CAC since JA suggested the stickering business will close. I would like to see them sticker older generation if not all ANACS holders.

Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 6:45 pm You are misinformed. CAC membership ( stickering ) is currently closed for new members. Once they are open for new membership an announcement will be made. Plans are for CAC to continue stickering into 2033. You can still have your coins graded by CACG.
