Original surfaces? will it CAC?

(xf40) What do you think?

I have no idea what CAC's stance is on chop marks. Other than that, it looks like a pretty solid EF-40. But there is just something that is bothering me about the surfaces, I think it's the haloing around the devices. My gut say's they would not pass it. However, having said that, Trade Dollar's are not in my wheelhouse.

 

I don't either and would actually like to know more about how they feel about them. I don't have the slightest clue and would love to learn more about that if someone can get information on it

 

I can try to give them a call tomorrow. Unless someone else already knows.

 

Same here. Gut says cleaned.

 

CAC won't do errors so I doubt they do chopmarks

 

Interesting. It is a clean grade xf40 with chop mark designation (PCGS). It’s a recognized variety nowadays. Can error coins get clean grades too? This particular coin is an esoteric rarity (I like those sorts of things). It has a type 2 reverse which is extremely rare with chop marks for this issue. Has something to do with the order of the Carson city mintage in 1875. The type 2 reverse was used sparingly late in the year so I guess it must not have been used so much in international commerce. PCGS estimates a total of 60 such pieces in existence.

 

Yes, errors will have a normal grade with the error denoted on the slab.

 

So I spoke to CAC, and they recognize chop marks, they will not preclude a coin from passing CAC due to chop marks. So I don't think this one will be held back because of the chop marks on the obverse and reverse.

 

I guess JA likes chopmarks then, and errors not so much.

 

Wow, thanks. Really nice of you to take the time to check that out.

 

It's hard to predict what they will like and won't like. It's always worth making a call.

 

I had an error Morgan CAC...sold it but nonetheless

 

...here ya go

 

Strange. Maybe because it's an error that doesn't effect the obv or rev.
