3-1/2 years since its inception, I’ve finally bought my first CACG coin!

    CACG launched its grading service in Oct 2023. I immediately disliked the larger size of the holders . . . One more PITA size to deal with! That really set me off.

    The obvious oneupmanship didn’t help much either, so I went on a crusade to avoid CACG coins inasmuchas I could . . .

    That lasted 3 years!

    I finally saw a coin that I couldn't live without the other day, and bought it. I feel some remorse over having settled for a CACG coin, but I’ll live with my decision.

    I’ll post photos when I have time.

    I think the worst thing about the CACG slabs is that there’s a green CAC bean icon even on “details” coins…. at least, if you keep the bean, make it gray or a more neutral color, but not green.

    It took me some times but I have had several now. Some I have moved on from but two are currently in the collection. There is a generic plastic box that holds all the main grading service slabs and they can be had for $10, so that is an option for those that want to store all their slabs in the same box.

    Edit: this is the box:
