For grading proofs as well? Just a single one? What color? Don't happen to have a link do you? Any where do you buy them...they appear to have been banned since 2033... @AndrewCoins I'm sorry but I am not involved in the purchasing of the equip…

I apologize if this question has already been answered. Will the CAC Registry eventually include “Everyman” 1- 58+ Sets? Best Regards, Big Frankie @BigFrankie yes, we will have similar sets available. thanks, John Butler

Mr. Butler, I'm having an issue with two of the coins I entered into the registry. Both coins are listed under my collection, but in the sets column for these two coins there is a N/A designation, which when the curser touches reads, "this item is …

The additions I have in mind are not expensive and the subtractions are. Examples: add the 1854 $3 and remove the1907 $10 Wire Edge and Rolled Edge. It's VERY hard IMO to justify the two $10's and omit the $3. Sounds good. But a Type Set with a s…

Regarding Type, which I understand is under construction: will the complete and non-gold sets have the same composition as PCGS? Also, is CACG open to suggestions as to what may be added to or left out of the "traditional" type sets? @oldabe Our …

@Coinstein They both should be working now. I have added them both to the sets that they qualify as an entry. If I missed a set or two please let me know. Also, if you see any other Seated Liberty Half Dollar varieties that are missing or misplaced …

@AndrewCoins I use a lamp with a GE 75 watt incandescent light bulb. John Butler

2 coins could NOT be entered manually: 1786 New Jersey PCGS VF35 Nar Shld, Curv Plow ending in x7342 1793 1/4D PCGS MS65BN from Middlesex, Great Britain ending in x8439 JB, any help with these three “oddballs” would be appreciated. Thanks …

@Bidask Monday ? Are you and JA having discussions as to when to approve? No, we are not having discussions at this time. I'm just ready to go. I'm not a very patient person when it comes to grading World Coins. I graded World Coins at PCGS from…

"You’re welcome, glad you got it sorted. On the failed items, I had 3 myself, have you tried adding them in to “my collection” yet? I was able to add 2, but the third will not load without error. I have been in contact with CAC Grading although it i…

@MarkFeld @Seatedman @Bidask We do accept Modern World Coins. We hope to add vintage coins in the future. Mexico coins would be one of the first countries I would want to grade at CAC Grading. I'm ready to start grading Mexico coins starting with t…

Is CACG keeping track of Legacy submissions? And of those how many crossed plus-to-plus and non-plus-to-plus? My guess is that we’ll never know the odds, but I would guess FAR less than 25%. Small sample but I got one plus-to-plus out of one and zer…
-
First off, let me say that I am impressed and very pleased with CACG grading of proof coins. I have not yet seen a single coin where I could effectively argue that the assigned numerical grade was off. Every single CACG proof that I have seen that…
-
"Early on JA said that roughly 25% of CAC stickered coins were "A" coins" Steve That doesn't mean that all those coins are still available to be submitted to CAC Grading. That also does not factor in the reality that many of those coins JA saw ov…

John - I mentioned this in another thread that has since been closed, but is there any plan to add a cost field to the registry? I would sadly not use the CAC registry without that field because it is an essential part of my numismatic inventory. …
-
John - Not confirmed with the programmers, but in the recent past, either JA or the CAC Team made it clear in a post on this forum that when a particular slot in a registry set can be filled with either a rarer coin or a more common coin, unlike PCG…
-
Clarifying the above, if a Type Set needs one Indian Head Cent, and one guy chooses a 1901 MS65RB, and another guy chooses for that same slot 1877 MS65RB, while the PCGS Registry will give those two collectors the same number of Registry points for …

I might have missed it but are type sets not a thing? @fadetoblack1004 We have many type sets constructed. However, we have not reviewed any types sets to see if they were made correctly. I'm not sure of the timeline for those sets. Thanks, Joh…

I believe I have found a bug. When entering the cert number that begins with 0 the software drops any leading zeros. Unfortunately I am trying to add an NGC coin with cert 004086004 so the leading 0s drop and it won’t add to Registry or come up in C…
-
Are there any plans to add virtual albums similar to what PCGS offers? @Seatedman This is a question for @JACAC
-
The problem with the current software is that when you have multiple examples of the same date and you exclude one from the registry you can no longer use it in any sets. The PCGS registry allows you to choose which coin you want to display in each …

I am having a hard time switching between coins in my sets. Once a coin is in how do you easily switch it with another example from your collection? @Ironman @SilenceOfTheClams I would suggest contacting CAC Grading customer service. Thanks, John…
-
Who should one contact for general issues, such as coins not being loaded into ALL my sets that show properly in “my collection” and also coins that one wants to use the “add item” tab to “my collection” and is unable to do so even though it is a va…
-
@MeantToBeSpent Regarding the Jefferson Nickels. The full steps set versions are for the universal sets that include PCGS and NGC coins. CACG sets really wouldn't need any sets for Full Steps. If we continue to only do 6 Full Steps there will never…
-
@MeantToBeSpent "Weighting on the modern mint state sets needs fixing." I would strongly agree with this statement. I have not looked at the weights on any of the modern sets. I plan on focusing most of my time reviewing weights on the Pre-1965 se…
-
Thank you for the attention to the CAC Registry. I may have missed the details, if they were announced, but I have two questions- @TomB 1) Will there be, or is there already and I can't find it, an area for non-competitive showcase sets to share …
-
who should we contact if we believe the weighting for a set is off by a lot? @lermish You can contact me for the weighting issues. I am in the process of reviewing the weights on sets. I have not reviewed very many series thus far due to other pri…
-
@TrickleCharge Might I suggest having just the date set as it is which can include either type of 1873 and a complete variety set which distinguishes between the two 1873 types? Did the date set reject one of those two varieties? It's supposed to …
-
@JohnButler Here is a weighting question I have really been curious about. I suspect the Barber Quarter set is one of the extremes. While I haven't looked into MS grades, In circulated grades the 1901-S is pretty much worth as much if not more tha…
