@CAC_Team , has there been any announcement of when CACG will allow collectors that have submission abilities to begin submitting coins for grading? I ask because for some reason I am on the outs and do not receive the emails o…
I know I asked something about this during the big Q&A with JA. I believe his reply was that they intend to handle PVC if requested or obvious. I have a couple of stickered gold coins with a little green glob. He specifically said if I sent that…
Ultra high relief saint is my choice. I’ll never own one, of course. It’s far outside of my price range. Even a high relief saint is outside my range. If the 2007 saint bullion had looked better to me I would have been happy enough. It needed to be …

My prediction is that CAC's slabbing service will take off but PCGS-CAC will still rule the roost because the two most strict and prestigious services have corroborated the grade.
Good prediction. Since CAC will phase out at …
One other thought. At some point (perhaps still?) PCGS rewarded those who completed sets or are top entries. It would be nice to have a reward system that also has recognition for other things. Perhaps for each person who has added a certain % of th…
Maybe there could be set groups that have the limit imposed and others without. Maybe there can be a registry set where the whales aren’t blue whales but merely belugas and those of us who operate on a herring budget won’t have our fragile self este…
Perhaps if they limited a person to having only one set in each registry entry? I have seen Hansen have Set #1 and Set #2 and maybe even a Set #3 before.
Perhaps a seal but a bit different from the NGC GSA one. A tamper evident seal that runs along the two long sides that would help to add some light environment protection but also make it much more difficult for someone to attempt to crack and re-se…
I have put a few on the other forum myself and have guessed at a number as well there for fun. But I do agree that some people take them too seriously if they don't get the answers they were hoping for, though. I stopped doing them for the most part…
In the various times I had to email PCGS for a registry item, I never used a newspaper or anything. I just had a picture of the slab. Once several years ago when I started a registry set I had a Morgan in hand that I took a pic of years ago that was…
Yes, there will be plenty of registry opportunities here. They will definitely accept all beaned coins. I believe they are considering allowing non-beaned coins as well but I can’t remember where that landed. .ad-slot { display: none !important; }

I was attempting to share my famous satire wit, with the the send in for CAC review/invoice grade guarantee thing. I failed. I will never be Churchill.
The key is to use as much Anglish (Anglo-Saxon root words) as you can…

Just have to add that I think it is funny that people don’t like gold $s. That’s pretty much all I collect now. The less competition the better for me.
It’s not so much that we don't like them, as much as we don't prio…

I remember reading that the submission forms will be a lot simpler than other services which is great. Thinking of varieties, if the variety is obvious but currently unattributed would it just get assigned automatically? Just pondering as some peopl…

I'm sure some will cross beaned ones and some will not but for the non-beaned coins do you plan to cross them over? I have been thinking it over since the announcement and I think I will. I don't have many non-beaned ones but I …

Maybe all the registry stuff will cool down and some of the silly pricing will ease? Speaking as someone who has several registry sets but will never be a “top” collector.
Not that I'm going to eat a coin storage box (unless it tastes like pizza), but for example, I think the edible straw solution is quite clever. It would be cool for CAC to do something new and different other than just paper or cardboard. Make their…
Look for a copy of Mark Goodman book. I think it is titled Coin Photography...
Definitely a good book, though getting to be a bit outdated in a few aspects. I haven't seen it for sale in a while. I have thought of making mine available for purchas…
Some things to consider: Use 2 or 3 adjustable lights with some level of diffusion. You need them adjustable so you can highlight the luster in what works best. You generally want a copy stand and a straight down angle. Don’t worry about the type of…
