It's hard for many to understand but the grades assigned by PCGS and NGC are rarely affected by strike (which is the reason for all the post numeric assignments) or eye appeal. This is false. Strike and eye appeal and always part of the grade on Mint State coins and often taken into account on AU pieces as well. Below AU strike and eye appeal are a lesser factor. |

. When did CAC switch to dealer submissions only? I haven't submitted this year but still receive their correspondence on submissions and I am a Collector/Submitter. They didn't. That's just bad information being posted |

Regardless of price, I would hold off submitting to CAC for the time being. They seem extra strict at the moment and I've spoken to several well known and respected dealers who seem a bit frustrated. I'm personally holding off until things improve. I've had some real gems (Early type) not get a sticker. If you submit at a bad time and it doesn't sticker then you likely won't ever get a sticker for that coin unless they change their policy or you can make a great case for it.

Definitely agree with this. My last one this year was far worse than I expected and I had never been that off in the past 4 years or so. |

It's said that for 6 years or so.  Good god! You would think the guy would at least update his website, umm, I don't know... at least every half decade! Well heck then. I've got more coins to submit. I'll call him tomorrow. Unbelievable!!  It doesn't sound like he's on the stick. |

They send free gifts each year and want some control over the number of submitters to keep their turn around fast and since there's no fee to join they gain nothing if a bunch of people sign up with an online form. |

Well, that makes sense. On Chester's point, I did have a conversation with David Lawrence about CAC submissions recently and they echoed that sentiment.

You need to decide on a set of criteria for yourself so that you when to submit a particular coin or not.
If you don't have a basis on which coins to submit, then decide on some criteria after reading all of this thread. There are some very experienced people here that can help you make up your mind on which criteria to adopt.
For my part, I don't submit coins, because the slabs would severely interfere with the way I store and display my collection. Besides, slabbing is far less popular in Australia, and I prefer to grade for myself, especially when deciding to buy.

I don't collect plastic so I never save or collect anything slabbed. Save your money and use it to buy more coins.

The market is not and never has been flooded with substandard CAC pieces nor did they ever just hand out stickers loosely. |
