A guaranteed CAC?

Wouldn't this pretty much be a guarantee? Can't really go any lower, can ya?

how did this even slab!!!

 

If that had a gold bean... would be a real keepsake

 

Was just going to say, they were probably hoping for gold : )

 

How did they figure out the date, let alone the type of 8?!

Pretty rad coin though, if you ask me.

 

Probably another diagnostic or pick up point. We don't even know what the reverse looks like. (Too lazy to go look it up)

 

Very true. I find myself IDing certain overdates not by the date (since I'd need a microscope and a vivid imagination to see it) but by distinctive features on the reverse.

 

Upon further searching this is the sole PO01 $2.5 Classic Head graded by PCGS. A fine coin for a lowball set.

Yes, the concept of a "C" PO01 (A/B = CAC, C = nada) is hard to imagine...

 

I actually like it a lot!

 

Awesome coin, love it! It has a beauty all its own. I wouldnt want it to gold bean, that would mean its actually premium for the grade making it closer to a PO2. If I wanted to lowball, I would really want the lowest grade possible with identifiable details so you know what it is at least.

 

Not sure if you can get a lower grade than this but I do know that's what's guaranteed is death and taxes.

 

That's one of my favorite Ben Franklin quotes! Another one of my favorites is "three men can keep a secret if two of them are dead."

 

Excellent!

 

I have an Indian $5 similar but it only got an AG 3. Darn.

 

CAC should make a "bottom of the barrel" sticker specifically for low ball set coins, so you know your coin is the worst of the worst!

 

Start it up! Take on CAC, QA, and MACACABALEBALE. First round of funding starts when?

 

It looks scratched to me...tsk, tsk CAC. I would grade it poor details, obv. scratched.
