  1. I would not pay a premium for a CAC stickered coin which is just affixed to a trusted third party slab. The coin and the grade as long as it trusted grading service is the value not a CAC sticker. Other wise CAC should just start their own grading service instead of piggy backing to a PCGS or NGC slab if their stickers hold that much weight.
