In 2007, John Albanese partnered with 22 leading members of the numismatic community to create the Certified Acceptance Corporation. Their mission was to advocate for the hobbyist by establishing a stringent standard of grading. As a verifier of previously certified coins, they only recognized coins that meet the highest standard. However, after 15 years, John Albanese realized they could do more.

 

In 2022, over 150 leading members of the numismatic community, led by John Albanese and Ron Drzewucki, formed a new grading firm, CAC Grading (CAC), with the purpose to reclaim accuracy and consistency in grading. Bolstered by the highest quality grading team in the industry, CAC is committed to applying an unparalleled level of expertise to every submitted coin so that hobbyists, collectors, dealers, and investors can have total confidence in a CAC-graded coin.

 

Today, CAC provides both the legacy stickering service as well as a full suite of third-party grading services, and CAC coins command a premium in the coin market. Why? The answer is simple. Quality alone determines the value of a rare coin, and CAC's certification (whether graded or stickered) provides an easy way to identify premium coins for the grade.
