I once again lack a slab photo but the 1828 Small Date did get a GREEN bean from CAC.

Green CAC on coin and deserves it: 16
Green CAC on coin and doesn't deserve it: 11
Gold CAC on coin and deserves it: 1
Gold CAC on coin but should only be Green: 4
Gold CAC on coin but should not sticker:
Failed to sticker but deserves a sticker: 8
Failed to sticker and should not sticker: 1
Unknown sticker status and deserves a sticker:3
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

 

Floor is open...

 

1958 Franklin Half Dollar PCGS MS67 FBL

 

I'll say NO sticker
(looks close for grade...fbl seems shaky-although ok by PCGS standards)

 

I’m saying no sticker.

And I may be wrong simply because the toning doesn’t appeal to me.

 

I think it's a close call, but I don't think this has a bean - I don't see it as a high-end MS-67.

 

Hard to tell the FBL status from these pics (of note - CAC uses the same "standard" as PCGS, and only judges based on the bottom set of lines).

I think if this were a 66, it would be an easy CAC.

But at 67, I'm having a hard time seeing this as a high end 67. I'll say no bean.

(of course, my opinions may entirely change with different pictures).

 

No bean for me.

 

Yes on the bean. I'm thinking the coin has great luster that the images don't show. Really nice coin.

 

I'll have to go No Bean on this one. I don't see it as a mid-range or high end 67. Depends on the photos...

jom

 

No bean. Don't see FB

 

I say no to sticker on 1958 50c

 

I don't view it as a high-end 67 nor do I see FBLs. The obscuration of the bell lines might be due to defects in the holder but I cannot tell. No bean.

 

It is exceedingly difficult to capture luster on mint set toned Bennies in a photograph. I will obviously have to take another crack at imaging this coin.

May I go again?

 

Another Barber proof. PCGS PR 64.
I have four sets of images for this one. Did it get a bean?
The first set are what I bought the coin from.
The second are my images.
The third and forth were taken by members here.

 

I like it (same as the last one) but will guess CAC didn't for some reason and said NO Sticker
