My MAC coins I honestly forgot about...

So I'm looking through my NGC and PCGS boxes and found these.
I genuinely forgot I had them and I can tell you that they must have cost me very little during a little buying spree...
Though based on the http://www.macpriceguides.com/ I must have made an absolute killing on these :smiley: Maybe I can get MAC to buy them from me :wink:

I also found an old thread regarding the not so loved MAC stickers https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/994929/what-is-your-opinion-of-the-mac-sticker-designation-and-the-accuracy-thereof

In another forum I remember someone calling them the copy CAC sticker lol!
These are nice but I just don't see them fetching those MAC guide prices, or even close. Am I wrong?
Anyone else have some MAC coins? It's ok...we promise not to make fun of you...right everyone?!

    If it is anything like the prices MAC asks for their stickered South African coins on eBay, no you are not wrong.

    I don't think I'd trust that pricing guide.

    I personally don't use MAC.
    Nice coins!

    I have little experience with that sticker - have seen very few.

    First I have seen that sticker, but no shows or shops in this area. So I have been sheltered for the last decade+. Cheers, RickO

    Never have seen or heard of MAC (other than as a collegiate conference, and a tool company).

    Based on the coins, I take it these must be for Moderns only? Not an area I am active in.

    Proof I probably don't have any interest though;

    In 2013, when I took hiatus from the hobby, CAC was stickering coins, and had a positive following. In early 2020, when I came back, they where still around, and from what I have gathered this last year, with a much bigger following.

    In 2013, I am pretty sure there was no MAC. I have been back a year and this is the first ones I've seen or heard about. But they've been around long enough that you have coins with those stickers you had forgot about? Yeah. No.

    If it was lunch time, @CaptHenway might make me hungry with that comment.

    Oh Yea, I had a satin finish last night and missed that :D
    Translation: Was glazed over.

    Same Alan Hager as Accugrade?

    I never heard or saw of these MAC stickers until now. Im not a big proponent of CAC either but at least they put the stickers on the coin intelligently and dont cover parts of the label like the top coin. That is annoying

    I believe his grading company was known as Astigmatism, Cataracts, and Glaucoma.

    I've seen those, and their price guides are pretty whack too. I think it would be cool to see a slab with CAC, MAC, WINGS, Eagle Eye and QA stickers attached!
