Certified Coin Marketplace – CAC-Approved Coins Bring Premiums in April 2022

In addition to faring well in internet sales during the month of April, CAC-approved coins outperformed other certified coins on average in live auctions in Costa Mesa, California, and Schaumburg, Illinois. Here are 10 examples, selected from a larger number of results that could have been listed.

1. 1921 Peace Dollar in MS-66

On April 5, in consecutive lots, Stack’s Bowers auctioned two PCGS-graded MS-66 1921 Peace dollars. The CAC-approved coin realized $24,000 USD and the coin without a CAC sticker realized $9,600.

2. 1897 Quarter Eagle $2.50 Gold Coin in MS-65

On April 5, Stack’s Bowers auctioned a CAC-approved, NGC-graded MS-65 1897 $2.5 gold coin for $1,680. On February 2, Heritage sold a PCGS-graded MS-65 1897 $2.5 coin without a CAC sticker for $1,170.

3. 1846-C Half Eagle $5 Gold Coin in XF-45

On April 6, Stack’s Bowers auctioned a CAC-approved XF-45 grade 1846 Charlotte Mint $5 gold coin for $12,000. Less than a month earlier, on March 13, David Lawrence Rare Coins sold a PCGS-graded XF-45 1846-C $5 gold coin without a CAC sticker for $6,050.

Our backlog is preventing us from delivering on our goal of a one-week turnaround, so WE WILL BE SUSPENDING OUR NORMAL TIER ($16) FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. Submissions postmarked for May 31 and after will not be accepted on the regular tier. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. We are doing our best to keep up with demand but are falling short of completing our service goal.

During this time, our re-sticker ($5), high value $10,000 – $25,000 ($35) and rarities over $25,000 ($75) tiers will remain open.

CAC members using our portal and wish to submit coins under $10,000 should follow these instructions:

When generating a submission form with the online portal, check the $16 regular tier option and use the proper declared value. Once you save and print the submission copies, cross out the $16 tier option manually and specify the higher tier of $35.

We appreciate your continued support,
