Conserved coins can CAC

I just found out my CAC results. I sent 3 of these Flying Eagle Cents to CAC. Two of them CAC'd with a green sticker. These were covered in green PVC gunk. I used an 18 hour acetone soak and gently used a q-tip to remove the green that wanted to hang on. Here are the before and after conservation photos: These are the 2 that CAC'd. The one that didn't was one that I thought would gold CAC, ironically.

Two very nice specimens for what I recall you paid for them.

 

A whopping $5.55 per coin.

 

Yeah I couldn't recall the exact amount but I knew they were cheap for the finial results . Good eye and great run of luck.

 

Not that I take any merit in CAC or even own a coin that has been sticker between the 2 Au 55 the second is no where near as nice as the first posted. What do I know only been collecting for 55 years your 3rd posted coin looks to be an xf in my eyes.

 

Shows what I know. I thought the 1857 that failed to pass was an AU58. It has a lot more flash than the 1858 AU55. But the 1858 AU55 is a high leaves reverse FS-1901, which can bring a nice premium if I find the right buyer for it.

 

Aaaaaah, that flying eagle avatar of yours, ain't too shabby neither @Paddy54

 

That coin needs to be graded someday soon.

 

Nah, let the auction company pick up the dime when you're ready to sell.......

 

Well let us know the results either way, those unc type 1s are sorta expensive......

 

WOW! Acetone worked wonders on those - beautiful FE's

 

This one you can pry from my dead hand

 

The auction houses would put representatives into Thunderdome to get Paddy's coin into their catalogs. 'Tis a fat steak held above slavering dogs.

PVC intervention, done right and successfully, should not be a factor in surface originality or grade. To my mind, you may have gotten just_a_bit lucky here, especially with the MS62. I see what sure looks like permanent damage - which ought to have been caught - in at least the stamens(?) atop the wreath above the N in ONE, and possibly also next to the second A in AMERICA. Not to take away the quality of what may be the most stupendous PVC plasticizer intervention on a single coin I've ever seen. That coin should have been trashed, and it wasn't.

 

Evil dead II

 

Well done CBD!..

Nice job. Ought to be a chapter in How to Do It For Fun and Profit.

 

There were 9 of them, actually.
