Well, even though I can't use the previous NGC certification in my NGC registry set, I was able to highjack the heritage pictures of the coin!...
I appreciate that question. I have pretty consistently found that among my old coins (early to middle 19th century), both gold and silver - most...
I do submit to CAC, if for no other reason than to get more information but I would definitely cross from one to the other for higher end coins if...

I agree that CAC doesn't mean much on lower cost coins - but I send them in sometimes if I'm sending others - while it wouldn't be worth doing for...
You got that! Hopefully not is right.
