Why can't we have CACA like the ancient collectors do?

In Russian, "caca" translates to something you never want on your coin or anything else you intend on keeping or handling... or smelling.

I particularly like their "Best Guess Attribution".

Almost as sharp as S.E.D.G.C. "seeing eye dog grading company" The one where the blind guy is being walked by the blind dog, who in turn is being walked by a cat. The cat ultimately does the grading and signs it with their paw stamp of approval. Cats suck at grading coins by the way.

Yeah, exactly Supposedly a few Russian committees on something starting with a C had to be renamed to avoid their abbreviation being pronounced "caca"; no idea if that actually happened though (but even if it didn't, that's a worthy urban legend).
IIRC, this word also means the same thing in Spanish as well (but I don't really know much Spanish).
