Rarity of CAC Seated Coinage, by Stephen Petty - 10:30 am
Stephen Petty will be speaking about Seated Coinage of the 19th century which includes 7 series from
the half-dime to the trade dollar. Specifically, the session will focus on the rarity of coins that have
received a Certified Acceptance Corporation green sticker of grade approval. Stephen was given access
to much of the CAC underlying data and determined the portion of coins with CAC stickers for all seven
series by date and mint mark. These results were published in four articles in the Gobrecht Journal over
the past two years. He will be providing a summary of findings from these papers.
Stephen is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Central Ohio Numismatic Association
(CONA) in Columbus, OH and Treasurer for the Liberty Seated Collectors’ Club (LSCC). His collecting
specialty is Liberty Seated Dollars and Trade Dollars, having completed both sets. When he isn’t working
with coins he works as a forensics engineer and an expert witness on exposures to chemicals and other
hazards.
