<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 24569777, member: 5372&quot;]Economy tier submittals have been suspended since Oct. 2022. The only exception is a 20 coin limit per loyal collector members annually at the normal tier rate, and after the 20 coin limit, new rates apply, since there will not be a normal tier rate, going forward, at the previous pricing structure, and will not be determined before the soft opening of the CACG (CAC Grading) entity, presently a late July target.</p><p>Any new prospective member on the waiting list as of Oct. 2022 will also qualify for the above 20 coin limit.</p><p><br /></p><p>New member applications have been suspended since Nov. 2022 and that policy remained in place until last week, when CAC invited applications to be submitted directly for (re) consideration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, it appears since you are not a direct submittal member, you must have submitted via a Dealer or you piggybacked via a grandfathered collector member.. Depending on whether the Dealer and/or the grandfathered member had reached the 20 coin normal tier limit, you would have been charged a higher rate. Since you did not answer my previous question of confirming if the piece you &quot;submitted&quot; was either an encapsulated PCGS or NGC coin, I will assume you may have&nbsp; &quot;submitted &quot; a raw coin for grading. This new grading service is not available at this time and most likely will be after August or thereafter, since the planned soft opening will be limited to 20 coins from 100 member investors, before official launch, to test the new planned Grading Entity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming your coin was submitted via a Dealer and/or grandfathered collector member, the turn around times are running anywhere from 21-36 days. JA is adamant that all services that slow down the existing CAC evaluation process for existing intact encapsulated NGC or PCGS coins are subject to temporary suspension. CAC is not going to allow any further backups to customers, which caused the normal tier evaluation to back up to unacceptable wait times to JA, which he has described as 21 days at most, for existing clients.</p><p><br /></p><p>Checking the Portal may not be of assistance, if any of the processes I described to you have not been met.</p><p>I will state it is on my mind that you possibly have been flimflammed by trusting another person/entity to submit a coin for CAC evaluation on your behalf. My comments are also publicly accessed via CAC.com, and the comments I have related to you have also been emailed to members and have been openly shared with non-members.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without any more info from you about who/what/when/where, nobody can help you. You can also directly contact JA, if it is possible you have been hoodwinked. I am sure CAC would want to know such a situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the spirit of helping without any payback expected or solicited:</p><p><br /></p><p>This has been a Charley Talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>YW.</p><p><br /></p><p>Truth in editing: </p><p>I) Deleted the &quot;n&quot; in &quot;many&quot;, changing the word to &quot;may&quot;.</p><p>2) Added an &quot;s&quot; to &quot;day&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
