GTG and Did It CAC - 1868 Liberty Seated Quarter

If you're interested, let's combine two of our favorite games: "Guess the Grade" and "Did it CAC". Reveal on Tuesday in the evening.

This 1868 Liberty Seated Quarter is a new acquisition that I don't have in hand yet so the TruView photo will have to do.

I would say extra fine condition

 

What does CAC mean? Why did you define GTG from the Title and not CAC?

 

WOW! I believe that's proof... maybe ~PR64...? And I have to imagine it 100% got a CAC sticker. If not, I don't understand how CAC works...

 

"CAC" is the acronym for "Certified Acceptance Corporation" but I think the company just goes by "CAC" now. They are the company that puts the Green or Gold decal (often called the "bean") on PCGS or NGC slabs.

Well, there are many threads that start the title with "GTG" which means "Guess the Grade" so I just thought I would clarify it. The "Did it CAC" is a single thread with many submissions and I just assumed that everyone understood what CAC referred to.

 

Ha! You, me and most everyone.

 

PR 65
And Green CAC
...it looks attractive and I don't see anything that would prevent a sticker

 

PR64 CAC

 

Thank you. In 70 plus years of collecting I have one coin in a slab and couldn't find CAC in the definitions.

 

PR66 with a green CAC.... And I LOVE that coin.

 

PR64. CAC green. Wish I could bring it home!

 

stunning.

PR65 CAC

 

PR 65+, and Gold bean. 100% chance of CAC. Absolutely stunning coin!!

 

I agree with that.

 

PR65 with Green Bean

 

PR64 Green CAC

 

Well it's clearly a proof and since I mainly collect business strikes it's out of my league. Clean fields: at leat the photos you've provided show no signs of hairlines. Obviously HL's will affect the grade but one really needs to hold the coin in hand for that. I'm going to go for at least a PF-65. Slightly motteled but very attractive toning I think is a plus. To make you happy, I'll also add in the CAC.

So there you have it: PF-65 CAC.

I've no idea what a "green bean" is. I'm very fond of Cambell's baked beans but I'd definitely avoid eating any green ones. Mostly I collect ancients -- when I have the $.

 

Pr 65 gold bean. Sweet coin....they don't get much better.....

 

But what do I know? I'm a novice at coin collecting... only been doing it for 2-3 years

 

pr65

How would anyone be able to guess if it CAC'd or not without knowing the grade? Isn't CAC saying that a coin is at the high end for the grade? For example, this coin could be a PR-62 with a gold bean or PR-67 with no bean. Any which way, the CAC sticker (or not) is totally dependent on what the original grade is, not just if it is a nice coin or not, no?
