CAC Coins Bring Premiums in June

In addition to faring well in Internet sales during the month of June, CAC approved coins brought impressive prices in a live auction in Costa Mesa, California. Here are a dozen examples, which were selected from a large number of results that could have been listed.

1. On June 12, Pegasus Coin & Jewelry sold a CAC approved, NGC graded MS-61 1882 $10 gold coin without a CAC sticker on Ebay for $1395. On May 18, Heritage sold a PCGS graded MS-62 1882 $10 gold coin without a CAC sticker for $1200. On June 19, GreatCollections sold a different PCGS graded MS-62 1882 $10 gold coin without a CAC sticker for $1190.25. A CAC approved NGC graded MS-61 coin thus realized significantly more than each of two non-CAC, PCGS graded MS-62 1882 tens.
