This is interesting, and I wonder if anybody even noticed?

Certified Acceptance Corporation

It started as Collectors Acceptance Corporation.

COALPORTER · May 11, 2008 7:40AM

"I started" or "It started" ?

fc · May 11, 2008 7:46AM

a few people noticed and everyone noticed they are making it up
as they go along.

COALPORTER · May 11, 2008 7:50AM

At first I thought it was a way to finance your coins- i.e. GMAC .

Maybe "collectors" sounded too plebeian while "certified" is more hoity toity.

I noticed ... but in thinking about it, I had always felt they would figure out a way to leave collectors out of it

RYK · May 11, 2008 8:32AM

Yes, it was discussed in one of the poofed threads.

ColonialCoinUnion · May 11, 2008 8:32AM

I noticed that. Not sure what the impetus was to change, but since they did so after the venture was off and running (and presumably after the CAC monogrammed towels had already been embroidered and hung in the executive washroom), they had limited options.

They realized, because they had to record the coins they sticker.
By doing that they were certifying.

Also it leaves room to become a TPG grader down the line with there own slabs, should they ever become accepted as being legit..

I think that we have always known that collectors are certifiable.

Zoins · May 11, 2008 9:14AM

I noticed the change but not the thread.

Why was the name changed?

lope208 · May 11, 2008 9:17AM

Why would it go poof? This seems perfectly normal to talk about.

RYK · May 11, 2008 9:18AM

From the beginning, I thought that the "Collectors..." was misleading, but JA had a reasonable explanation for it. I think that the current name is probably more appropriate.

I noticed that. Not sure what the impetus was to change, but since they did so after the venture was off and running (and presumably after the CAC monogrammed towels had already been embroidered and hung in the executive washroom), they had limited options.

And what the heck would they do with the 15 million stickers that they purchased if they changed the name to the DAC, EAC, or FAC?

Connecticoin · May 11, 2008 9:28AM

Interesting indeed.

IGWT · May 11, 2008 9:31AM

Remember the Consortium? Ahhh, the good old days.

pcgs69 · May 11, 2008 9:50AM

I started a thread asking if they did in fact change the name, but it was poofed! I don't think it had any responses anyway.

Yeah, I carefully selected a title to enhance survival odds.

So that one didn't go over too well, let's try this one. Hahahaha So, a story changed by a group of dealers..... imagine that!

Coin Finder · January 7, 2017 7:37PM

Found this old thread started by Russ, it also has a comment from Bear. Two good guys... Anyone own any of their coins they can share with us?

ricko · January 8, 2017 8:45AM

I saw that icon and was surprised..... thought someone reactivated it.... I agree, Russ and Bear made great contributions to this forum.... I attended many shows with Russ and we had a friendly competition going on AH Kennedy's... Cheers, RickO

Glad the avatars were brought over. Lots of memories on these forums.

Indeed - I made him that avatar long ago, it used to flip you off, but I changed it to present one of his "Dot Head" Kennedy's. I remember he tried paying me for making it for him, but told him no way as he had recently sent my son a goodie bag included in some PCGS boxes he sent me for free - great guy for sure.
