Here are a dozen examples, which were selected from a larger number of results that could have been listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Dec. 18, Stack\u2019s Bowers auctioned a CAC approved Proof-67 1938 dime for $660. On Dec. 8, GreatCollections sold an NGC certified Proof-67 1938 dime, without a CAC sticker, for $382.80. On June 30, GreatCollections sold both a PCGS certified Proof-67 1938 dime and an NGC certified Proof-67 1938 dime, neither of which had a CAC sticker. The PCGS certified coin brought $423.50 and the NGC certified Proof-67 dime realized $474.10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is true that a different CAC approved Proof-67 1938 dime was sold by Stack\u2019s Bowers on Oct. 23 for $504, but it is also true that Stack\u2019s Bowers sold still another CAC approved Proof-67 1938 dime for $960 on April 2. Though auction results vary, even if market levels remain the same, certified Proof-67 1938 dimes with CAC stickers generally brought significantly more than non-CAC, PCGS or NGC certified Proof-67 1938 dimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Dec. 18, Stack\u2019s Bowers auctioned a CAC approved, NGC graded MS67 1943 half dollar for $720. On Dec. 17, Heritage sold an NGC graded MS67 1943 half dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $360, half as much. On Dec. 15, GreatCollections sold a PCGS graded MS67 1943 half dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $348.70, less than the just mentioned NGC certified coin and less than half as much as the cited NGC certified 1943 half with a CAC sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public sale prices for these tended to be higher in November. On Nov. 25, Stack\u2019s Bowers sold a PCGS graded MS67 1943 half dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $456. On Nov. 24, Great Collections sold an NGC graded MS67 1943 half dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $396. It is true, however, that prices realized in November for non-CAC, PCGS or NGC graded MS-67 1943 half dollars were generally between $400 and $500, significantly less than the cited $720 price realized for a CAC approved, NGC graded MS-67 1943 half on Dec. 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
