Sorry if this has been talked to death. I haven't submitted coins in a while and was looking to submit some large cent for grade and attribution and some modern foreign gold. I was surprised that NGC was the most expensive, seems like PCGS has historically been the most money to submit. Who are people using right now and how has been your luck and experience with CAC been?
I'll buy coins in CAC slabs, but I'm not paying more than any other grading service is getting for the same mint/grade. If I had something exceptionally rare, I might consider a bean attempt but no, not sending anything for them to slab.
If you are trying to milk the most money and value out the coins you are submitting, CACG is the way to go. I've never tried having a coin graded before, nor do I know what is the most popular platform right now, but I can give you this: Look at the price differences: 1926-D Lincoln Cent MS64 RB NGC:$550 Same exact grade CACG: $675 (+$125) Another would be this: 1870 Indian Head Cent AU 53 PCGS:$640 same coin: AU50 CACG: $675 (+$35) The CACG coin is a lower graded coin, but still more expensive. If you have the means, CACG is a better investment, but that's just my opinion.
