PNG Announces a Coin Grading Promotion for PNG Members.
President and CAC Grading (CACG) Co-founder Ron Drzewucki has announced that the company is granting a grading credit good for five (5) Express submission items to every member of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) members for grading services provided by the Virginia Beach-based firm. As a firm believer in the mission and values of the PNG–Knowledge, Integrity, and Responsibility–CAC offers this bonus to all coin dealers who support the organization’s work by becoming members or sustaining their memberships over the decades.
In order to utilize their CAC grading credit, members of the PNG must either put their member number on their submission form or include their number in the notes field on a online portal submission at caccoin.com. All credits expire if not used by March 31, 2024.
“PNG and CAC share similar views on the industry and the integrity required to work in it,” said Drzewucki, PNG member #532. “And we are glad to offer this benefit to the dealers who uphold these ideals.”

About CAC Grading
In 2007, Numismatist John Albanese and several other coin experts founded Certified Acceptance Corporation, or CAC. The new third-party grading service certified coins that had already been graded by other major grading companies (that Albanese had a hand in founding). If the coins were deemed strong for or stronger than the grade they had received, then CAC would approve them with either a green or a gold holographic sticker, respectively. It should be noted that coins with green and gold stickers tend to earn premiums when offered on the market.
CAC Grading LLC was founded in 2022 to certify coins directly. The company depends on the knowledge and experience of over 100 important figures in the coin industry.
(Virginia Beach, Virginia) December 1, 2023 – CAC Grading, LLC, which recently launched its full operations for rare coin authentication, grading, and certification, has named long-time professional numismatist Ron Drzewucki as its new President. Ron Drzewucki succeeds John Albanese at CAC, who remains Chief Executive Officer after serving as both President and CEO since the company’s founding in 2022.
“Ron was among the CACG co-founders and has served as our Senior Finalizer. He has been involved in the authentication and grading of more than 100,000 coins since we began accepting submissions in June, first during a soft launch and then with full operations starting in October,” explained Albanese. “Ron is well-known and respected in the profession as a world-class grader.” A life member of both the American Numismatic Association and the American Numismatic Society as well as a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild, Drzewucki has been a full-time professional numismatist for 40 years. In addition to extensive business experience as a dealer, he worked for seven years at Numismatic Guaranty Corporation where he was described as “having a superb eye for coins” and “has the experience and discriminating eye to make the important distinctions between grades.”
“I’m looking forward to 2024 and excited to be a part of the leadership team and guide the day-to-day operations at CAC Grading,” said Drzewucki. “I will continue implementing John Albanese’s mission of grading with the utmost transparency for vintage and modern coins while working with new collectors to help usher in the next generation of coin enthusiasts.”
CAC Grading Co-Founder and Finalizer John Butler stated: “I’ve known Ron since he was 14 years old and working in his father’s coin store in St. Charles, Missouri, and since that time I have watched him travel through his numismatic journey. I see Ron being named the President of CAC Grading as the culmination of many years of his staying focused on his goals and working very hard to get himself to this elite level in the numismatic community. I’m proud to see him accomplish this achievement and am excited to see where his numismatic journey will lead CAC Grading in the future.”
Many collectors and dealers have embraced CAC Grading since its launch.
“We are continuing to build momentum and, with Albanese and Drzewucki leading the charge, look forward to a strong 2024,” stated Brian Kint, CAC Grading Chief Financial Officer.
In 2007, Albanese and two dozen veteran numismatists founded Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) to provide buyers and sellers verification that their coins certified by third-party grading services met stringent standards. Coins that met their standards received a coveted green CAC sticker on the encapsulation holders.
In 2022, Albanese organized over 150 leading members of the numismatic community including Drzewucki to expand their mission for accuracy and consistency by creating a new third-party grading and encapsulation service, CAC Grading.
CAC-approved coins fared well in many public sales during the month of October. Here are 10 examples, which were selected from a large number of results that could have been listed.
1. 1905 Lewis & Clark Commemorative Gold Dollar in MS-66
