Our world-class team of graders authenticates coins submitted to CAC and assigns them a grade based on their lasting condition. CAC utilizes the Sheldon Scale, a numerical scale from 1-70. If you wish to submit your coins for authentication, grading, and encapsulation, this service is for you.

This service is reserved for coin(s) that are currently encapsulated by PCGS or NGC. Our grading team will review the coin, and if our grade meets or exceeds your minimum grade, we will “cross” it into a CAC holder. Entering a minimum grade—which can be higher, lower or the same as the current grade—allows you to ensure we don’t remove the coin from its current holder unless it meets your minimum acceptable grade.

For Rarity and Ultra Rarity crossovers that do not meet minimum grade requirements, there will be a discount such that the net service fee is $300 and $600, respectively.

Note: Problematic coins are eligible for crossover.

This process is essentially the same as a regular crossover except that the coin(s) submitted have already met CAC approval and bear a CAC sticker. All coins stickered during the "Legacy" period from November 2007 to June 5, 2023, will earn a "Legacy" designation whether or not they earn a "plus" (CAC does not acknowledge the "plus" grade when stickering coins.) Gold-stickered coins will also be eligible for "Legacy" designations
with no ceiling on the grade.

Legacy and other coins that currently bear a CAC sticker will cross into CAC holders, ignoring “plus” grades. For instance, MS64 and MS64+ coins bearing a green sticker are guaranteed to cross at MS64. MS64 and MS64+ coins with a gold sticker are guaranteed to cross at a minimum of 65.

If you have a CAC stickered coin and want to know if it is eligible for a "Legacy" designation, please visit our coin lookup page and enter the certification number on the holder.

For Rarity and Ultra Rarity legacy crossovers that do not meet minimum grade requirements, there will be a discount such that the net service fee is $300 and $600, respectively.

If you believe we have mis-graded a coin, it may be resubmitted, still in its CAC holder, for a second review.

A damaged CAC holder can always be reholdered for a nominal fee. For good measure, one of our graders will verify the coin to ensure it is genuine before it is returned to you.

If you wish to see whether your third-party graded coin meets or exceeds CAC standards for the grade, submit to our stickering service. Our graders will review the coin(s) and return each with a green sticker (for meeting expectations), a gold sticker (for exceeding expectations), or without a sticker (for not meeting expectations).

Note: We do not sticker coins in a CAC holder as those coins have already met our standards.
If a CAC sticker is damaged, or you just had your coin reholdered (maybe it was cracked or scuffed), you can submit the coin for restickering. If the coin was reholdered before restickering, it must have the same certification number to qualify for the Resticker service.

When the submitter selects CAC shipping, CAC will provide postage and insurance coverage commensurate with the value of the shipment. The items will be insured for the greater of the declared value or CAC Estimated Value as defined in the Submitter Agreement. CAC uses a variety of carriers, though most packages will be shipped via USPS and FedEx. All packages will require at least a direct signature upon delivery. CAC cannot be held responsible for the speed of shipment.
CAC reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to separate a submission into multiple packages or combine submissions into one package for return shipping.
