To CAC or not to CAC - official game thread

You need to make a summary of the track record for those of us who've been participating. Wait, forget what I said. Grade (elementary) school was brutal enough!

Participation trophies for all!
(if someone else wants to volunteer and go back to track each of the ~10 people for all 31 rounds, we will all be very impressed-well at least the ones who have guessed correctly ).

 

I have another but I'll wait until, say, tomorrow night so someone else can go.

Liberty quarter eagle. Graded MS61 by PCGS. Bean or not?

 

Hard to say as gold is difficult and the 61 grade isn't the easiest to read.
Gut feeling says NO sticker

 

I like the luster on the 1851 quarter eagle but is it really an MS 61? The obverse has a number of hits but the reverse is better than MS 61. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this coin could net a 62 grade. So gold getting gold is my final answer. Of course a sack of rocks has a better chance than me of getting it right.

 

H'mm, I'm going no bean.

 

Green bean on 1851 $2.50 gold

 

Green on the 51 gold.

I guess I got gold fever.

 

Green on the quarter eagle if there aren't any hidden surface issues.

 

It’s been nearly a day since last guess, so here’s the reveal.

Gold CAC on coin but should not sticker:
Failed to sticker but deserves a sticker: 6
Failed to sticker and should not sticker: 1
Unknown sticker status and deserves a sticker:1
Unknown sticker status and does not deserve a sticker:2


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 can post next

 

Okie dokie. My "avatar" coin:

PCGS MS66

Bean or not, it would be welcome in my collection. Give it a green!

 

Like Satindollar said, give it a green for the beautiful toning.

 

Nice coin! No bean. Flat hip with several marks and the obv scratch limit it.

 

I say Green CAC
The issues (if you can call it that) look to be minor and the 66 grade appears appropriate. The color is a nice bonus. I do have a feeling it might have failed to sticker (even with my guess of a yes). Regardless, that's an attractive coin!

 

Very attractive, but looks like a technical 65 to me. No bean.
