Sounds like a challenge!

 

Well, let's not take it too far. We're essential for the perpetuance.........

 

I vote no bean on the 1851 cent.

 

Same here. I got yet another inappropriate content message from Jim. I swear he’s trying to give me the boot. And all I did was state the truth

 

Any other guesses?

 

@Mainebill feel free to call this one when you're ready

 

Green on the 51 cent. Nice coin!

 

It was a green bean can’t find a pic of the slab off.hand. Has good luster and a fair amount of remaining red and flawless surfaces. Overall a pretty coin and accurate graded and one I’ve held onto through everything

Note: if we don’t know the status of a coin before the reveal and more people say green CAC for a gold CAC coin, then it will go in the area of “Gold CAC on coin but should only be Green” ....see round 3 as the example case

*
Rd. 10 was 4-4...I interpreted that CircCam would consider it a no (based on a similar example), which swayed the overall vote to a lean towards no.
Rd. 13 was tied between green and gold at 4-4...I interpreted that geekpryde would consider it a gold

 

@jom you are up...
@geekpryde you are next

 

Put me in the queue. I have one I'd like to include.

 

PCGS 65

None, Green, Gold?

 

Nice looking early Merc. Other than toning, the obverse looks clean. The reverse has some nicks on the column but otherwise nice. I would have given this coin a FB designation since there are clear separation in each band. I would say it's definitely a green bean at a minimum and possibly gold. Since green-gold isn't a choice I'll go with green.

 

The color looks a bit funky to me, but I still think it received a Green

(unless it's PVC like the Mercury Dime in the PCGS rattler that CBD posted in a thread recently, then it would not have stickered)

 

Green. Looks strong for the grade to me.

 

I think the 1919 has a good shot at gold. It’s super clean and eye appealing

 

I like the 19-S dime for a green sticker. There's a little hazy patch on the face, but I think that's the toning and not an additional substance.

 

Good strike and eye appeal, I'd say it got the green sticker.

 

I'll go with green - it looks like an MS-65 FB to me.
