CAC Coins Bring Premiums in December

Contributed by CAC - January 7, 2019

This article/press release has been granted to NumisMedia by a member or contributor, NumisMedia is not responsible for the content.

CAC-approved coins outperformed other certified coins in a live auction in Beverly Hills and in internet sales during December. Here are ten examples which were selected from a large number of results that could have been listed.


1. On December 2, GreatCollections sold a CAC-approved AU-58 1832 half dollar for $677.25. On November 14, Heritage sold a PCGS-graded AU-58 1832 half dollar without a CAC sticker for $516. On November 11, however, Heritage sold eleven AU-58 1832 Small Letters half dollars. Eight of those without CAC stickers realized prices ranging from $408 to $552. The three that were CAC approved sold for $552, $720 and $1560, respectively. On average, the prices for CAC-approved, certified AU-58 1832 halves were much higher.

On October 30, Stack's-Bowers sold a PCGS-graded MS-66 1936-S half dollar without a CAC sticker for $576.
