What Does CAC Certified Mean for Coin Buyers?

What Does CAC Certified Mean for Coin Buyers? You have purchased PCGS and NGC certified coins and understood those labels. Then you encounter a coin with a small green or gold sticker on the holder. That sticker is from CAC, and understanding what it means adds another layer of precision to your buying decisions. What Is CAC? CAC stands for Certified Acceptance Corporation. Founded in 2007 by John Albanese, CAC is not a grading service in the traditional sense. It does not grade raw coins. Instead, it reviews coins already in PCGS or NGC holders and provides an independent second opinion on whether those coins truly merit their assigned grades. What the Stickers Mean Green CAC Sticker: the coin is solid, or fully acceptable, for its assigned grade. Gold CAC Sticker: the coin is exceptional for its assigned grade and would be a strong candidate for a higher grade. Does CAC Certification Add Value? Yes. CAC-stickered coins consistently command premiums in the marketplace. Commonwealth Coins and Collectibles carries certified coins graded by PCGS, NGC, and CAC at www.ccandc.gold. Located in Alexandria, Virginia, shipping nationally and internationally.
