While CAC wasn't really meant for super inexpensive coins, there are quite a few out there. Please share your least expensive CAC coin, whether it was purchased with the sticker or sent in. If you want, let us know what the reasoning for sending it in was (aiming for the gold sticker or something else?).

It's a real high beam in hand, semi-prooflike and the reverse is stunning.
Price guide $160
Who can beat that?
F12 O-105
I’m near the end (I still have four holes) so I recently bought two very inexpensive coins as fillers, that WILL be upgraded when I come across nice eye appealing 67RD’s with CAC’s for those two dates. Once the four holes are filled, my set will probably rank #7.
The two fillers are 1954-D and 1958-D, each graded MS66RD, and each had a CAC. The PCGS Price Guide shows pricing at $32 for the first one, and only $22 for the second one. The CAC Price Report has the first at $54, and only $20 for the second. Yes, I paid a bit more ($67 for the 1958-D with the BP, as the CAC Pop is only 4), but these are CHEAP!
Here’s the 1958-D:
$37- good one!
That should be hard to beat since the coin is barely worth more than the bean fee!
uh oh- here comes @Winesteven in with a $20
There is nothing wrong with sending the inexpensive coins in and I think it's nice that CAC looks at everything (without a lower limit). You can learn a lot from any coin that is subbed and we all have plenty of great inexpensive coins.
Lincoln 1958-D MS66RD, CAC Price Report = $20.
Edit to add - I concede the contest to @Winesteven. He's is officially the biggest loser.

I'd like to double down and challenge everyone to a new contest:
Who has the least expensive set of five CAC certified coins?
1. 1936 Lincoln MS67RD, CAC Price Report = $224.
2. 1952-S MS67RD = $187.
3. 1953-S MS66RD = $44.
4. 1954-D MS66RD = $54.
5. My “infamous” 1958-D MS66RD = $34.
Overall CAC Price Report = $543.
