CAC doesn’t certify “errors”. That likely disqualified this coin from consideration.
In my preferred series, seated dimes, NGC seems much more willing to award AU grades, particularly on coins with minimal luster if the details are...
Nice score! Looks to have exceptionally nice surfaces for the grade. I absolutely love the look of this type when E Pluribus Unum is clearly...
My favorite cherrypick is also my avatar and comes with an interesting story. Maybe 5 or so years ago, a Scottsman auction contained quite a few...
Because my family will be catching a flight this afternoon, we exchanged and opened some gifts earlier than normal. It will be the first time that...
My SS gift traveled a total of about 250 miles and arrived earlier this week. Looking forward to opening it on the 24th. I wonder which packages...
John, Curious why you asked about NGC instead of PCGS? Think they'd be more lenient?

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Many collectors who appreciate 19th century coinage will aggressively pursue coins with very late die states or retained/full...
Good finds. I'm a bit surprised at the severe price drop for that particular coin but, like I said, mid-vfish coins appear to be imbalanced...

Wow, Eduard! I have an affinity for the 1849o date because I have enjoyed attempting to variety collect this date for at least the past 5 years. I...
Here is my take on the rotation idea...it depends! Basically the thing that affects a rotation premium is whether or not there are dedicated...
John, I agree with your assessment to try them. I think the market has clearly spoken that CAC adds value and certainly makes it much easier to...
Eduard, As always, wonderful coins. My opinion is that in the current market gaining cac approval would have greater bearing on the value of...
Picked this up at a local coin/pawn shop yesterday and wanted people's thoughts. Not my normal area of collecting but figured I couldn't go wrong...
Weak strikes can be so misleading... I always look at Liberty's sandal line for completeness as well as the shoulder clasp above what would be her...
Sorry for the delay...I'm a little late to my own party. Here are the results after a run through both PCGS and CAC. 1837 XF40 1842o VF35 CAC...
A couple months ago, I sent a PCGS submission in with the assistance of our very own @C-B-D. The photographs are obviously his and are very...
