Thanks! I had to add these to the catalog along with other issues (mostly Cameo examples) I was missing. Prices added as well.

  • @CACNUTCOLLECTOR I've added the New Jersey variety to our catalog. The Great Britian Middlesex is another matter. We're slowly adding world coins to the catalog, mostly starting with silver and gold coins. Might be a while for coppers... Note: no…
  • These are off to the printers and we are scheduled for Summer ANA release! Hopefully that time line will hold. 2025 Red Books start shipping tomorrow!
  • The problem causing the varieties to always show on the pop report has been corrected. that's great news. thanks!
  • Jf: i noticed the explosion of silver dollar pricing with all the varieties. It now take me too long to scroll down the years to get to a later silver dollar date! Any way to separate the varieties from the standard silver dollar issues? Or hide t…
  • @johnFeigenbaum there is a strange anomaly in the CAC Franklin price listings-- showing mint state 1955 as having an FS-403 Variety, which, to my knowledge, does not exist. Good catch! We are adding new varieties ahead of the Cherrypicker III, 6th…
  • Have I forgotten how to access the CAC prices or are they just no longer in the pop/price report? Pricing is back up. Thank you for pointing this out so we could address the issue. Glad to hear it but the coin is now sold. A subscript…
  • Speaking of books, had this one for decades. Note the author... Wow! There's a blast from the past. We're actually working on an full update of the Red Book series edition on Washington Quarters right now. I'm not authoring it, though. Going to b…

  • @DeplorableDan thank you for pointing this out! The search is now fixed to accept GSID's numbers. -John
  • I don't know if there are PDF versions of the articles in the magazines. Maybe @JACAC @johnFeigenbaum will know the answer. JF will know where you can get copies of the magazine. Thank you for the mention! Digital subscriptions to the "CAC Rare…
  • Happy Thanksgiving everyone. https://www.greysheet.com/news/story?title=a-thanksgiving-message-from-the-whitman-cdn-publishing-family
  • CDN/CPG prices are FAR more accurate than any price guide. I find that the PCGS price guide often represents what a fantastic example with CAC approval will bring, but a non CAC marginal example will be from 60-75% of PCGS guide, I just wish that …
  • CAC prices powered by CPG (Collector's Price Guide) are available on the pop report pages of this web site. We encourage collectors to subscribe to complete pricing data at greysheet.com. Subscriptions start around $9.99/mo and include millions of p…
  • John - I get your points and if you don't have the data, then that is an obstacle, but when CAC market pricing is less than PCGS pricing, something is inherently wrong from my perspective. It is really not appropriate IMO to compare Greysheet/CPG …
  • My sense is CDN can really only use auction data that is provided to them in an electronic feed format. I don’t believe GC or Gerry Fortin do that. That’s why when you look at the PCGS website “Auction Prices Realized”, for that same reason you won…
  • @johnFeigenbaum are you drawing upon Fortin's auction results? It seems with seated material, the CAC pricing data is often lower than PCGS price guide. This appears inverted to me. This is reinforced when I see Fortin set his reserve prices (see…
  • Just to be clear: There is no "lack of public facing data" from GreatCollections. It's available free of charge at www.greatcollections.com for all users. We're up to 1.3 million auction records and more are added every week as new auctions close…
  • Unless the Grey Sheet is using auction results from Great Collections there pricing information would be pretty much useless in the current market. I do not know the stats but they must sell more coins than all the other auction companies combined.…
  • I like the "range" idea, although I'm sure it probably involves a lot more work, and there is also the potential overlap issue to deal with from one grade level to another. I dislike the range idea. How about "Coin x is worth $600-$750". In what …
  • Way back in this thread, you (@johnFeigenbaum ) logically and accurately explained the rationale for ignoring a current auction price if you believed it’s an outlier. With the current auction of Stewart Blay’s coins on GC, is it fair to assume the…
  • Hi @oreville . Was a highlight of my day yesterday to meet you in person. Thank you for the kind words about my dad.
  • They are there. You have to click the arrows under the date to expand the rows.
  • The CAC price guides are powered by CPG, so @johnFeigenbaum would probably have to answer this.  not yet...
  • @johnFeigenbaum I have noticed when looking at the Franklin Price/Pop tables on the CACG site, sometimes the "white" prices are displayed and other times the "white" prices are not displayed. Any idea why? Something I am doing? Not sure. This is s…
  • This makes perfect sense when there’s a lot of activity. When a particular date has two or three transactions that vary quite a bit over the last five years how do you determine if the high or low price is an outlier? I see dealers refer to the low…
  • Should auction pricing drive CDN bid which is the basis of CPG?  What if some of the auction prices are fluke nuk bids not the real market?  Collector A bids up a coin way up.  Why should mkt Val go up because he way overpaid? I’ve communicated a …
  • John, I was looking at some seated half dimes. This 1851-O date caught my eye. Auction Pricing for AU coins in general non-CAC is reaching or surpassing the stated CAC pricing in the greysheet. Here is a snap shot from PCGS website since Dec 2020 …
  • @johnFeigenbaum Will the new CAC grading recognize the (+) designation and will there be support on the Grey sheet for this? Dealing with the general public and trying to explain the (+) and increase in price is difficult to those who aren't deep i…

  • There has been and will continue to be a greater market preference for PCGS OGH slabs with CAC stickers over newer PCGS slabs with the CAC stickers. Currently, the PCGS OGH slabs with CAC stickers are approaching the value of newer stickered plus gr…
