To CAC or not to CAC - official game thread

Ok. Coin I feel graded solid on the 62 from my opinion. Enough marks to keep it from higher I had a seated quarter like this with amazing color and a straight grade from pcgs but no cac cause as johnmilton said it’s well recovered secondary toning after an old dip so no bean on this one and coming from a collection that was 85% cac approved im sure it went. But the eye appeal great. I’ve seen several shots and feel it’s naturally toned but after an old dip

OK, I think I'm on deck: Here is an 1853 No Arrows dime, NGC MS-64. Mintage 95,000 before they switched over to the With Arrows variety. Did it get a bean? The reveal tomorrow.

 

Oh wow. Nice tough date coin. Looks original and accurately graded. I’m saying yes on green

 

BTW, scratches are on the slab, not the coin.

 

I haven't been too good on the last two but my excuse is the quarantine. The 1853 dime looks completely original and I think it is graded accurately. I'd go along with giving it a green bean.

 

That dime looks like a very high quality 64, maybe even bordering on 65. I'll say yes to the Bean on that one.

 

Honest coin with an accurate grade. Greenie.

 

Green

jom

 

Green on the 1853 dime...looks solid overall

(I'll update summary info after this one ends)

 

Green

 

I'll finish this one early since it looks like just about everyone has already weighed in. 7 out of 7 say it deserves a bean.

The 1853 No Arrows dime did not bean. When I was talking to Gerry Fortin about buying this coin, I asked him if it had been submitted and he said it had and had been denied.

I agree with all of you that this coin deserves a bean but I bought it because I really liked it, not just for its looks and date but also because this coin has a provenance. It is the plate coin for Kamal Ahwash's seminal work on Liberty Seated Dimes.

 

Wow. Fooled us.

 

Believe I’m up.

Here’s a 1913 Indian quarter eagle graded MS62 by NGC. What did CAC say?

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

 

Back to the gold coin, it looks decent for a 62. CAC is harder on gold coins, but I will say this one got it (yes on Green).

I'm also surprised by the dime from @Publius2 as I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

Nothing wrong except CAC blew it.

 

Wow. I’m surprised. I think I remember Gerry having that. My half came through him too he’s local to me half the year and a friend too

 

I don’t like the reverse scratches on the gold. And they’re tough on it. No bean

 

I guess I'll stick to baked beans. Everyone around me knows first hand whether they were deserving or not.

 

On the gold 1913, the long scratch on the obverse would tell me no bean. But then again, I'm on a wrong streak.
