Suggestions for CAC 2.0 (Insert Your Ideas Below)
1. Different designer slabs, given that many people are more interested in holders than the coins contained therein.
2. Solid slab colors, esp. black, blue, red, green, and gold, depending on which color best enhances a given coin.
3. Celebrity autographs on slab inserts, such as those of collectors like Wayne Gretzky and Ed Sheeran. Way to boost public interest!
4. CAC 2.0 trading platform.
5. Variety and error attribution.
6. Realistic photography (for an extra fee, of course).
7. Conservation service.
8. Certify paper money.
9. Dealer awards for best CAC 2.0 ads and anything else CAC 2.0 related.
10. Separate obverse and reverse grades, and a total grade.
11. Detailed grading assessment for an extra fee.
12. CAC reps/ambassadors throughout the country.
13. Charge high certification fees to discourage submissions of inexpensive coins and drastically reduce the workload. As much as I like rare coins, I do not want to spend every waking second with them.
14. Hold CAC conventions.
15. Most important: Use the same teddy bear stamp used by CAC 1.0.

Comments
1. Note the date of certification on the slab insert.
2. Please accept credit cards. Writing checks is tedious.
3. Have strict standards for authorized dealers and collector members, such as no convicted felons allowed.
4. Dispute board.
* CAC logo / embedded sticker in the actual label (branding branding branding)
* Early-adopter/dealer incentives to cross PCGS/NGC coins in the first few months. I'll send every single one I have for Crossover if the price is right, even before the market has proven things.
* On-site grading at major shows (I know these are still early days, but this is a wishlist after all)
* Tiered pricing - "evaluation fee" vs "encapsulation fee". I find it borderline criminal that PCGS/NGC charge a full price for DNC'd crossovers and don't even give a reason. $50, "sorry Did Not Cross", end of story. I'd much prefer a tiered pricing - say - $30 evaluation fee, $20 encapsulation fee. If it crosses? $50. If not, pay less.
* To build on previous, the evaluation fee should get you an evaluation! If a coin Details-grades or DNCs, a short description as to why. "We believe this is a 64, you had a minimum grade of 65", or "PVC", etc.
* NO conservation service. That feels like the antithesis of CAC.
MY REPLY: CAC already beans conserved coins. For instance, every shipwreck coin with a CAC sticker has been played with albeit with innocuous compounds and procedures. And I have seen tons of dipped Mercury dimes and Walking halves with green beans. CAC might as well do the conservation themselves because they continuously set the standards and raise the bar.
however, i believe it’s actually more than your description of your idea for “it’s recognized”
thank you so much!
Who would win?
