To CAC or not to CAC - official game thread

Yes on the bean.

I'll guess it got the green bean. Possibly just a hint of an old cleaning? Looks very nice anyway.

 

Oops!

 

@Lehigh96. Just curious. Did you intend to post the 64 nickel here? I'm asking because the last coin posted for this guessing game was the Proof 62 Liberty Seated Half Dime and the last few coins were not nickels.
I vote bean for the Half Dime.

 

oops, my bad, wrong thread

 

Yes to the Green sticker

 

Yes on green bean ms62 1859 PR62 1/2 10c

 

I tried to see if the coin had wear or any hairlines due to cleaning. None that I could see. There are a few hits and if there were more evidence of a dip then maybe not....but I'll go Green bean anyway.

Too many dings on the obverse for a bean.

 

Looks like it could be a solid 63. I will go with a Gold CAC.

 

Congratulations to @kSigSteve who nailed it exactly with a Gold Bean.

Gold CAC on coin and deserves it: 1
Gold CAC on coin but should only be Green: 7
Gold CAC on coin but should not sticker:
Failed to sticker but deserves a sticker: 9
Failed to sticker and should not sticker: 2
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

 

I like the coin but it looks like the surface was "wiped" at some time; at least that's what it looks like to me in the last photos.

 

Maybe it's just the photo or a reflection from the holder?

And the floor is open....

 

I thought that at first but highly doubt it since the dullness can't be a reflection artifact.

 

But it could be an artifact of photographic lighting. Besides, if it was an obvious wipe I would doubt both PCGS and CAC would fail to notice. Just a thought....

Next up....
PCGS MS 62

 

Why would this coin need a CAC sticker? I'm gonna say no sticker because much of the toning is near terminal state.

No Beans

 

You'd be surprised by what needs a sticker to some.
I had a common Lincoln commemorative Half Dollar in MS 63 and had multiple people ask me about CAC status. I'm seeing it more often with coins where the sticker shouldn't really matter.

 

No CAC.
