1. Use crystal clear prongs that magnify to allow the full view of coin edges.
2. Make the holders stackable with those of PCGS and NGC.
3. Design the holders to fit into PCGS and NGC boxes.
4. Delete the "LEGACY" name due to its use by a currency certification service whose owner was the owner of the defunct PCGS Currency.
5. Increase the attractiveness of the holder, possibly by adding color(s) and/or art?
6. Note CAC's website address on the insert.
7. For early copper, note CAC's grade AND the EAC grade given the latter's popularity in auction catalogs.
8. Use multiple slab designs to encourage collectors to complete sets thereof and thus further promote the CAC brand.
9. Make the inserts larger to allow lots of additional info such as varieties and pedigrees.
10. As yet another anti-counterfeiting feature, add small photos of the coins on the inserts that can be blown up at CAC's website.

Comments
PCGS brands their slabs with their name right before the grade, eg
“PCGS MS65”
Denoting that this not just an MS65, this is a PCGS MS65.
CACG should do the same. The industry has adopted the phrasing grade+CAC, so I’d advise they lean into that and make it their own. So labels should read:
”MS65 CAC”
”G04 CAC”
Etc.
It would be cool if the reverse of the label had some kind of mini image printed on it of the coin in slab (or a QR to a web link). That way we can compare what’s in the slab with an official pic.
2) I prefer a more clear gasket rather than the cloudy/opaque gasket. The gasket is ok as long as it is not cloudy which is distracting and also hides the rim.
3) The CAC sticker must be on the front of the holder NOT on the reverse. Putting it on the reverse repeats the same mistake JA made back in 1987 when he initially placed the grade on the reverse side of the black NGC slab only to realize that the market disliked it and he realized his error and moved the grade to the front. in the NGC 2.1 holder.
4) Otherwise good to go.
1. Magnetic rims that allow easy, secure stacking.
2. Glow-in-the-dark lettering so that lost slabs can easily be located in darkness or dim light.
3. Embedded tracking device such as Apple AirTag.
4. Bullet-resistant plastic (for several reasons).
5. Tiny builtin stand that allows holder to stand upright.
