CAC recommendations?

I have never submitted a coin to CAC. Looking at the selling prices of CAC coins vs. non-CAC of the same grade, I've decided its time to drink some CAC flavored koolaid.
I see on the website that as a collector I can't directly submit the coins myself. So, the obvious question I present here is: Does anyone here have personal a recommendation (from previous experience) of a dealer in South Florida to bring a small but significant value stash to submit to CAC on my behalf? Thanks!

I would suggest you email CAC with a request to send your coins in directly even though they have listed that they are not taking new collector clients. You have nothing to lose by choosing this strategy and it might end up with you have submission privileges. Good luck!

I wasn’t a CAC member either, until a year ago. I completed the application on their website and mailed it to them. I think you need to be an ANA member, which I was at the time . Six months later I was accepted. I just recently submitted coins to them. It’s a very easy and painless process and it doesn’t cost anything.
Do you plan on selling the coins soon?
I'd do what TomB suggested first, and then just check the directory tab on the CAC website and I'm sure you'll find a CAC dealer in your area whom can contact for a submission.

If you want to thin the herd CAC status can help you decide which coins to sell.
No, its mainly to add the seemingly necessary luster to my "keeper" coins. Every once in a while I will sell one to obtain something else of interest. I like @TomB s idea.
Great customer service imo, try to call.
Fill out an application as Tom suggested. I was approved a couple months after submitting my application. Nothing to lose
I also was approved very quickly after I applied. It may have helped that I am both an ANA member and an ANS member. So, @REALGATOR while you may find a dealer-member of CAC, you might well want to submit an application for (hopefully) future approval and use.
I would definitely try the @TomB suggestion... and then also file an application. Since you do not seem to be in a hurry, that would be a good way to go. Cheers, RickO
I would also point out that the economics greatly favor submitting as a collector rather than a dealer, as I understand the submission terms. Unless there has been a recent change, collectors are not charged for coins that don't pass.
