Here is a FR02 Morgan with the "green bean" sticker; According to the CAC website; "The CAC GREEN Label signifies that a coin has met Certified Acceptance Corporation's stringent grading standards." This must be a SOLID FR02 to warrant the sticker. Report this Post to the Staff

One case where low end for the grade with the possibility of a downgrade is good. Edited by D0ubl3Eagle 12/31/2011 6:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 6:03 pm CAC stickers designate coins which are exceptional in the grade. I'm guessing they're as aware as we are that Lowballing is now an accepted collecting sub-discipline, and as a result I'd expect a green bean on a lowball to indicate a grade on the low end of the number given. The coin presented here sure looks like such. Report this Post to the Staff
