Certified Coin Marketplace: CAC Coins Bring Premiums in February

In addition to faring well in internet sales, CAC-approved coins outperformed other certified coins in a live auction at the Long Beach Coin and Collectibles Expo in California. Here are 10 examples, which were selected from a large number of results that could have been listed.

1. 1829 Half Cent

2. 1869 Proof Shield Nickel

In December 2018, Heritage auctioned a PCGS-certified Proof-66 1869 Shield nickel without a CAC sticker for $660. On Feb. 15, 2019, GreatCollections sold a different PCGS-certified Proof-66 1869 Shield nickel without a CAC sticker for $815.62.

So, the NGC coin with CAC approval brought 22% more than a corresponding PCGS-graded coin without a sticker. The $540 result was not an unusually low price for a non-CAC MS-66 1929-S.

Another non-CAC PCGS-graded 1929-S quarter brought $480 and another CAC-approved MS-66 grade 1929-S quarter went for $780 in the same Heritage auction in October 2018.
