CAC coins continue to tend to realize higher prices at auction than their non-CAC counterparts.
Here are ten examples among many that could be listed:
1. 1892-O Barber Quarter

On June 11, the Goldbergs auctioned a PCGS graded MS-64 1892-O quarter, with a CAC sticker, for $780.
Non-CAC Comparables
Earlier in 2018, Heritage has publicly sold four PCGS graded MS-64 1892-O quarters, without CAC approval.
The two sold on May 9 realized $480 and $408, respectively.
These same two coins each sold for $424.80 in February.
In December 2017, Bonham’s auctioned a MS-64 1892-O quarter in an early PCGS holder for $585.
2. 1907 $10 ‘No Motto’ Gold
Five PCGS graded AU-58 ‘No Motto’ 1907 $10 gold coins were auctioned in June. The only one that was CAC approved was sold on June 11 in a Goldbergs sale for $1080. Six days later, Heritage sold two AU-58 1907 No Motto tens without CAC stickers, in consecutive lots, for $810 and $780, respectively.
On June 26, Stack’s-Bowers sold two PCGS graded AU-58 ‘No Motto’ 1907 $10 gold coins in consecutive lots, each for the same price, $720.
In Mint State, a CAC-approved MS-64 coin of this date and variety brought at least one-third more than any of the others sold in June.
3. 1836 Classic Head $5 Gold

At the June Long Beach Expo, a CAC-approved MS-64 1836 Classic Head $5 gold coin realized $25,201.20 at a Heritage Auction.

The CAC-approved MS-64 coin brought significantly more than each of the non-CAC, “MS-64” or even “64+” 1836 half eagles of the same variety.
4. 1911 $10 Gold

On June 14, Heritage auctioned a CAC-approved MS-66-graded 1911-S $10 gold coin for $66,000. This is more than double the $32,900 Heritage realized in August 2016 for a PCGS-graded MS66 without a CAC sticker.
Two years ago, In August 2016, the same auction firm sold a PCGS graded MS-66 1911-S, without a CAC sticker, for $32,900, less than half as much!

The exact coin that sold for $17,037.50 in January, in the same PCGS holder (but without a CAC sticker), realized $8,812.50 in June 2017. A price in line with what another PCGS graded MS-65 1875-CC, also without a CAC sticker, brought in March 2016 at a Heritage auction.
