I'll try another one: I bought this coin raw...as you can see...sent to PCGS and it came back AU55 all around the 2012 time frame. Sometime later it went off to CAC. What happened? jom
From what I understand about their taste - it beaned - will wager green. It’s a really nice coin. Wb shocked if no bean. If no bean that’s last time they would ever get my money.
Yes on the bean. I think it shows a little too much reverse wear for a 55 but for market grading I am sure it's a solid B or A 55 or better due to low number and size of distracting marks, luster and attractive toning.
I say yes for a bean. I love the look of this coin - nice toning, very little wear, and the only potentially distracting dings are on Liberty's nose, and below her lip. Those should rule out a gold bean.
I don't know how CAC feels about secondary album toning on coins such as this, but it looks very attractive and good enough for the numerical grade. I say Green Bean.
OK, I'm a bit late but here ya go: To answer an earlier question CAC usually will not sticker a coin that has been dipped and re-toned. I can't count the times JA told that to me when I questioned one of my coins that failed. He'd say "...cleaned....long ago". So my guess here is that this particular coin was "original enough" to pass. I was kind of happy that a coin I bought raw got graded. jom

Here's one for your July 4th pleasure. PCGS PR-62. This is the one-year only Paquet Obverse half-dime, only struck at the Philadelphia mint. This is the V-2 die pairing and is the last Liberty Seated Half Dime I needed for my Red Book (more or less) type set. The Paquet Obverse is not listed in Red Book as a separate variety but many collectors consider it so, as do I. I have not been able to accurately capture the mirrors on obverse and reverse but they are there, although the coin has some toning. The smears on the reverse are on the holder. Did it bean? Happy Independence Day!
