I'll go gold. I think 63 is too low.

 

Green for sure. Gold perhaps.

You can post the next one when you're ready and @Mainebill can reveal the status of his when ready

 

Ok. Well this was a no question coin in hand ex Lovejoy. I think 65 was the right grade. I got eye appealing
65 money for it and fror if he ever sells it I regret selling this one

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 next...

 

Next up: 1834 $5 PCGS XF45

 

That’s pretty. I say green though it could go 50 any day but I think the discoloration on the cheek would keep it from gold

 

I will try to take a stab at this one since I don't have any experience with gold coins. It's seen it's share of wear and the next question for me is has it been cleaned? I don't think it has after looking at some details examples from other auctions. The wear looks consistent with other XF45 examples which don't have a bean (don't know if they were sent and rejected). So, I'll say no bean.

 

The discoloration on the cheek and forehead bother me enough to think it was a
NO Sticker

 

The TPGs tend to be pretty generous on the early gold. Don't know how JA is about them, though. I think it's good enough for a 45 but doesn't merit a green bean.

 

From what I've heard, he is particularly hard on gold (and gold coins have some of the lowest rates of stickering).

 

An OK coin but no beans in sight.

 

Anyone else want to guess?

 

I'll guess a green sticker. I think the detail is there for the grade.
