CAC approved coins outperformed other certified coins in the official auction at the Long Beach Expo in Los Angeles County, and in various public Internet sales during the month of September. Here are ten examples, which were selected from a large number of results that could have been listed.

1. In the official auction of the Long Beach Expo during early September, Heritage sold a CAC approved MS-64 grade 1876-CC Twenty Cent Piece for $456,000. In August, Stack’s-Bowers auctioned a PCGS graded MS-65 1876-CC Twenty Cent Piece without a CAC sticker for this same amount, $456,000. A CAC approved MS-64 grade, famous rarity thus brought the same amount as a non-CAC PCGS graded MS-65 grade 1876-CC Twenty Cent Piece that was struck from the same pair of dies at a U.S. Mint in Carson City, Nevada.
