CAC Open Box - My First CAC Submission - How Did I Do?

[@jppagetoo]

That seated dime still knocks me out. That would be the centerpiece of my collection. Lovely, rare and suprisingly affordable.

[@jamesbryant6735]

A Very nice and choice video for all collectors to enjoy and learn on. Super super coins, I have been in the coin world for near 60 yrs and I really enjoyed it!!

[@silvadelshaladin]

Time to get a 7th opinion on the 1919-S Lincoln. Reminds me of a song... Gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop undergradin' this hot toned Lincoln.

[@lpandy21]

You sell some good stuff Ben...I bought a Morgan dollar from you and it did receive a green CAC sticker.

[@michaelm7843]

You bought it from OPC and then submitted and got the CAC sticker? Nice job! - And extra credit for torturing Ben with that info.

[@cgcoins3639]

That half cent almost looks like a piece of chocolate 😍

[@lawriefoster5587]

Wonderful SLQ!! I agree...should be a 65!! What a glorious coin, but of course they all are. Thank you for sharing.

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Hi, Ben. That 1926-D SLQ is gorgeous. No way it's not questionable color! LOL. Same thing with the 1919-S Lincoln. It's gorgeous. I love the 1876 Proof Seated dime in cameo. The 1867 pattern is gorgeous. I love the 1951 proof * Cam Washington. I would accept it! Speaking of Purple Hue, That would be a killer name for a song. The 1897 Indian Cent is SWEET! It should have gotten a cameo designation. On the 1845 $2.50, the striations seem to go more from right to left. The 1920 Merc is beautiful. I hope you can have my Type1 Buffalo nickel, which you have seen, evaluated by CAC. Let me know, PLEASE. Of all the coins in this lot, I like the 1897 Indian Cent the best. *TYU*

[@jamesgoss1860]

When it comes to those old NGC holdered coins, there's nothing questionable about the toning. The answer is simple: the slab did it. Rim toning from slabs and albums, in my experience, is never dinged as artificial/questionable.

[@EricBynog-zd4rd]

Dang best odds I seen in while 9 green beans and 3 gold beans out of 18 coins not bad odds at all I like the ms65 Morgan in the 2.1 holder that just made that coin go way up

[@jamesgoss1860]

Three gold beans in one transactions seems to me like winning the lottery. I almost never see one, let alone multiple.

[@michaelm7843]

So many really nice coins! The 1845 2½ dollar gold - Yes, the reverse is beautiful and lustrous. However, the obverse is loaded with many nearly horizontal scratches, and the die is badly worn as shown by the die crack running from star three through four and onto star five. Also is that a little die crack protruding from Liberty's upper lip? Granted the vertical striations are from polishing or wiping the die, the graininess of the profile head again evinces the worn obverse die and disruption of normal mint bloom. In short, I don't think it was CAC bean-worthy. But a good case for split grades for each side of the coin.

[@TheQuickSilver101]

The one that surprised me the most was the Walking Liberty half dollar. I'm pretty shocked that one didn't at least get a green sticker.

[@jamiehoudeshell363]

Nice results!

[@weststephan5253]

Great submission. I’d like to send in mine some day.

[@montanaguy]

Great CAC learning experience.

[@Walkerazul]

CAC reveals are my favorite coin videos. Great results for a first sub! I’d sub the SLQ for recon for a gold bean. I have a green bean 26-D 64 in a rattler that looks 66 to me, so I subbed for recon but it didn’t upgrade. If I had to guess why it’d be that the strike is too weak, which is of course common for the issue. I’m not an expert but could there be some high point friction/rub on Liberty’s head on the 47 Walker? Or perhaps that’s just how the issue often comes?

[@jo-cleetushazelscreetch1301]

Man, I wish I had an LCS near me that sends coins off to CAC. I have just one coin that I think has potential for a gold sticker but Im not gonna go on a waiting list just to apply for a CAC membership, UGH!

[@kevinpoggensee3044]

Pretty decent results from cac. I have been thinking of sending some of my favorite coins there but nobody in my area is affiliated with them. I was curious as to the submission costs and time it took to get back to you compared to the other guy.

[@flatpiano6398]

funnily enough, you were thinking of the Chinese character for 3 for the E on that merc. Ten looks like a cross.

Thanks! LOL - I only read those when I have a book showing me how to read them.

[@ProjectEric2024]

That SLQ not receiving a gold CAC and the Walker not getting a green CAC demonstrate the issues with the CAC process. I'm not an expert but those are just tremendous coins.

[@billmason533]

Welcome to the Dark Side Ben!

[@callumweber1469]

Beautiful coins! How much do you charge to send a customers coin to CAC?

[@TheCoinGeek]

It costs whatever CAC charges. Right now they are not allowing regular submissions, only the more expensive ones.

[@callumweber1469]

Thanks for the reply! I’d love to get a sticker on my 1874 NGC pf64 cam seated dime at some point. I’m a bit hesitant though, because it has some toning that makes the cameo contrast less evident at certain angles.

[@jamesgoss1860]

Odd that the CAC cutoff for Washington proofs is only 1942, but 1964 for business strike. The early 1950s had pretty low mintages. However, Franklin proofs are accepted for all years.

[@oro_yplata6422]

In general, are they worth more with the gold bean? Or resubmit for higher grade?

[@tocsore]

just wanted to know what shipping service you use to send coins to pcgs or ngc thanks

[@TheCoinGeek]

Usps

[@chaicharin]

Does CAC keep a log of cert#'s that dont meet CAC? Meaning, can you look up if the coin was already sent in and then got rejected? If that were the case that would lower the value of the coin and hurt you when you are trying to increase the value? Things that make you go hmmmm.

[@billmason533]

cac keeps the log on non stickered coins but we cant see it.

[@singlesideman]

It says "not connected with any OTHER coin grading service", not "any coin grading service".

I talked to the cac guys 2 3 years ago about one day doing silver dimes and nickels (pre 1969 stuff.) And the answer was pretty much never. this was WAY before they anounced they were gonna grade there own coins and with that ( he didnt say this part, i dont know what all coins there gonna grade) but we will soon be able to have them graded by cac instead of stickers.

[@tomtalley2192]

Be interesting to know the cost and turn around time.

I have a couple slabbed coins that have CAC stickers- what is the best way to remove the sticker without scratching the slab?

If the Morgan 0/9 is truly and 0 over 9 wouldn't it also be an 8 over 7? Since the coin would've been a 1879 under that 1880.
