CAC Coin Grading – Certified Acceptance Corporation

Introduction: CAC Coin Grading

CAC Coin Grading stands for the highest standards in the evaluation and quality assurance of previously graded coins. As an established “grading beyond grading,” CAC provides collectibles with additional proof of trust through sticker certificates—and thus often significantly higher market prices.

History & Background

• Founded: 2007 by John Albanese (co-founder of PCGS & NGC)

• Mission: In addition to the existing grading label, ensure high authenticity and quality standards – as a trusted second test

• CAC is independent, owned by over 150 leading numismatists and dealers – high credibility in the collecting hobby

CAC Stickers & Labels – Grading above the grading

• Green Label (Green CAC Sticker): For coins that are in the upper segment of their assigned grade

• Gold Label (Gold CAC Sticker): For coins that would have deserved even a higher grade

CAC Grading – CAC’s full-service grading since 2023

Since 2023, CAC Grading has been offering complete grading, authentication, and encapsulation for the first time – independent of PCGS or NGC.

Additional services & submissions

In addition to sticker services, CAC offers:

• Crossover Grading: Evaluation of coins already graded in PCGS/NGC – upon reaching defined quality: Transfer to CAC Holder

• Varieties, Mint Error, High-Res Imaging: Additional services to enhance presentation and value capture

Market value & trust among collectors

CAC-certified coins regularly fetch higher prices at auctions. CAC labels are considered a reliable indicator of quality in the market.

• CAC complements PCGS/NGC with reliable quality assurance for collectors seeking particularly high standards

• CAC Grading: new full grading system – high consistency & transparency
