Tyrock Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Now that CAC is listing an "independent market value guide" on their website listing the current prices of all CAC stickered coins, why would anyone bother to subscribe to the CDN publication?

GoldFinger1969 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm not an expert on CACs but I think that for the most part you are looking at premiums of about 20% on a non-CAC coin for that type. For collectors or dealers who are heavy or exclusively into CACs, I guess subscribing makes sense. But my 20% Rule Of Thumb is probably accurate for most coins and where not, you can always look up recent auctions or sales. JMHO...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 [With all due respect to Tyrock, can anyone tell me whether Richard Snow's "Eagle Eye Photo Seal" plays any role in the history of CAC, and if so, how?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN publications are generally for dealer use as it is a basis for lowball offers. As a collector you will have to pay up for the higher end of the grade coins if you want the best. What I find is that most auction sales tend to hammer right near that Grey sheet price on coins I purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know where Laura gets her saint prices. Now, if I could only learn to love that dipped/bagged-up look. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
