I always thought for someone like me, that CAC fees are a bargain

I use the walk through service so round trip insurance on $40,000 + boxes are not an issue.

CAc grades my coins (higher vs lower end for the grade) which gives me a better idea on how to price any for sale.

Now I'm thinking i also have a counterfeit check on the coins. Is this last service nothing more than paranoia on my part?

On my last trip I would have settled for 0 beans as long as all the slabs came back as "real untouched slabs".

    If they are already slabbed, I would not worry about it. So, yes, probably a touch of paranoia... but no harm. Cheers, RickO

    You cut to the heart of the matter.

    The real question is.... Have any/many counterfeit coins been found in slabs?

    Unfortunately yes, There are all kinds of different fake slabs with counterfeit coins in them - or correct labeled slabs with the wrong coin/counterfeit coins in them - posted every now and then. Especially on eBay, they seem to pop up all too often. Some are easy to spot, some even fool the experts.
