|
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.
