Following these preparation guidelines will help us process your submissions smoothly and handle your coins with care once they arrive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9837ad3a17de525e01a870e72b7ce4fa\" style=\"color:#4d7f71\">Accepted Coins<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>CAC Grading accepts a broad range of coins for&nbsp;<a href=\"\/grading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grading services<\/a>. In addition to most U.S. coinage, we now grade Canadian coins and select other world coins. We encourage submitters to review the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/grading\/coins-accepted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coins Accepted list<\/a>&nbsp;in advance to confirm that their coins qualify before submitting them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about a coin that is not specifically listed, or if you are unsure whether a coin is eligible for Grading services, we recommend&nbsp;<a href=\"\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contacting us<\/a>&nbsp;before submitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coins Submitted in Holders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CAC Grading now accepts several coin sizes including GSA holders, select 2 oz, 5oz, and 1kg coins. Coins must be submitted in holders that are appropriate for their size and type, and we request that all different sized holders are submitted on separate submission forms as discussed further in the <em><strong>Separate Submission Forms<\/strong><\/em> section below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The only third-party grading services we accept for our Crossover service are PCGS and NGC. If a coin from another third-party grading service is submitted (ANACS, ICG, etc.), that submission will immediately be put on hold and possibly returned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please avoid submitting coins in damaged, heavily worn, or non-standard holders, as these can make safe handling during grading difficult.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-942e13271a087b7aba24445027b54ff6\" style=\"color:#4d7f71\">Separate Submission Forms<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to provide the best and most efficient service possible, we require that submissions containing different coin types are submitted on separate submission forms. Submitting multiple coin types on one submission form may result in delays or rejection. Below are some common examples of the different coin types that should be separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vintage v. Modern coins&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern (coins minted after 1964) and vintage coins (coins minted 1964 and earlier) must be submitted separately, as required for all CAC Grading submissions. Combining modern and vintage coins in the same submission may lead to processing delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>U.S. v.
