Tips for organizing your submissions

With our ever-expanding catalog of accepted coins—now including GSA hard packs, oversized coins (select 2oz through 1kg coins), and select world coins—there may be some discrepancies between our Coins Accepted list below and our Population Report. To ensure your submissions are received and processed quickly and safely, please take care to:

Ensure your coins are included in the list of those we accept for Grading as detailed below.
Separate your coins onto multiple submissions when various coin types are submitted. For example, vintage and modern U.S. coins should be on separate submission forms; similarly, GSAs should be separate from non-GSA submissions. For more information, review this helpful article.
Organize and package your submissions according to our shipping guidelines.

CAC does not accept colonial coins, most tokens or medals, and select modern world coins for grading. Please contact Customer Care before submitting any coins not listed here. Generally speaking, bullion and modern medals are accepted.

CAC attributes varieties recognized by the Red Book at no added cost. Varieties noted in this table are charged at a fee per our Pricing page. However, if the variety is correctly identified on the submission form, the submitter will receive a 50% discount on the variety fee. We believe this aligns with our collector-centric focus.

At this time, we do not attribute die varieties by CONECA number.
