@crustyoldgold if you have a moment please post the pics of the coin cabinet and envelope it was stored in. That 1829 QE coin plus story combo is one of my all time favorites.
Wow @crustyoldgold . That 1829! Am I remembering correctly that this particular coin was stored many years in a coin cabinet, and that the cabinet was auctioned off together with the coin?

Wow, that's mesmerizing. I don't think I've ever seen one quite like that.
that's also perplexing to me .. how did it tone like that?!? .. do others think it's unique toning?
Not sure what you find perplexi…
I’m fine with CAC slabbing details coins as authenticity confirmation has value and it’s preferable to having to resubmit to another TOG just to get it holdered, but agree with all comments that the CAC green logo should not be present and the holde…
The price is steep for failed attempts to sticker coins at the express tier. Similar to/perhaps higher than costs of a failed crossover attempt. I agree this remains collector friendly for submissions at the economy tier, and am pleased that the eco…
For clarification purposes, am I correct in my understanding that legacy CAC collector members will be able to submit 20 coins per year at the economy tier with 100% rebates for coins that don’t sticker?

MarkF. If it was overgraded as a 45 and problem free, it wouldn’t be a 45. If it was just slightly over graded , it would be a 40 or a 40+. Who’s on first? JA
Does CACG plan to utilize plus grades for all grades, or wil…

Good morning Hooc- I’ve discussed this dilemma with my operations manager several times and I’ll make sure he sees this post. We don’t have a problem with returning all of your submissions in one box the way they were received - i…
Not sure if discussed yet, but does CAC intend to combine shipping for coins submitted at different grading tiers? I find it frustrating that if I submit an economy coin, a regular tier submission, a reholder and a crossover to PCGS, each coin will …
Just curious, how will CAC treat accurately graded, problem free and original, but really unattractive heavily abraded MS60 coins? I’d consider these to be “C” coins that I assume wouldn’t sticker today if submitted. They are what they are, and I as…

The Fairmont hoard seems endless. Kind of surprised they are pumping them out back to back to back.
So long as the APRs remain sky high, I expect they will continue to pump them out. I’d be interested if there’s a readily…
I think it’s a good platform. I’ve had several good buys there. Have met some good people and learn a lot about coins by watching videos of all sorts of coins. Yes, there’s a lot of common stuff, but some really nice stuff also pops up fairly regula…
On another note, it is very interesting that key dates in the Fairmont hoard have been problem coins as of late. What’s with the wheel marks on the 42-C small date, the 38-D, the 38-C, the 39-D and the cleaned 39-C? The common assumption is that the…
I really liked the 40-O $5 and felt it sold for a really reasonable price compared to the AU50 43-O and the AU58 1844-O. I liked this 61-C even more than the last one (which was wonderful). Congrats!

My customers could not care less about the Fairmont pedigree. I get no premium for it. But people are always willing to pay extra for Eliasberg and Norweb.
APRs clearly show that people are willing to pay more than top dolla…
If a CAC stickered coin down crosses by one grade I would not expect it to automatically receive a gold sticker, and would assume a gold sticker would probably be unlikely unless it was very strong for the original grade. For example, if and NGC45 C…
