CAC Coins Bring Premiums in July 2025

Here are a dozen examples, which were selected from a larger number of results that could have been listed.

1. The public offering of the month was the sale by GreatCollections on July 27 of a CACG certified MS-66-FH 1926 quarter for $11,550. In comparison, GreatCollections sold a PCGS certified MS-66-FH 1926 quarter, without a CAC sticker, for $3,426.50 on June 8 and another for $3,520 on Aug. 3. Also, on May 1, Heritage sold a different PCGS certified MS-66-FH 1926 quarter, without a CAC sticker, for $4,320. All four of these received a ‘Full Head’ of Liberty designation (FH) while being certified. It is clear that a CACG graded coin brought much more than three different PCGS graded MS-66 1926 quarters with ‘FH’ designations.

2. On July 6, GreatCollections sold a CACG graded MS-66 1932 quarter for $682. On June 8, GreatCollections sold an NGC graded MS-66 1932 quarter, without a CAC sticker, for $534.60. On April 22, Heritage sold a PCGS graded MS-66 1932 quarter, without a CAC sticker, for $576.

On June 26, Stack’s Bowers sold a PCGS AU-58 1955/1955 Double Die Lincoln cent, without a CAC sticker, for $2,520.

On Aug. 13, 2024, Stack’s Bowers sold a PCGS graded MS-65 1913 $20 gold coin, without a CAC sticker, for $43,200.  On Dec. 14, 2023, Heritage sold a different PCGS graded MS-65 1913 $20 gold coin, without a CAC sticker, for $50,400.
