It looks like you are up next after this quarter is revealed.
(I went back and looked but anyone feel free to correct me if I missed your turn)

 

+1 and my thoughts exactly. A lovely coin that definitely warrants a “who cares” if it didn’t CAC, but if I had to guess I would guess no as the toning implies a dip and then placement in an album.

 

OK, here goes. The coin FAILED at CAC. I did speak to JA about it and he mentioned that there was rubbing on the knee of liberty. Something that I did not agree with. Of course, you could add the scratch near the head as something as well but it is not something JA mentioned. IMO, the coin could have been dipped but it was no way noticeable since there was a lot of luster. The dipped and re-toned thing with CAC is almost always for circulated coins.

In my lame opinion the coin was a solid MS65. But...even if it wasn't it was one of those (as mentioned) "who cares" coins.

No to CAC on 1920 quarter - Not surprised his decision. My taste is more towards brilliant vs toned anyhow.

I agree with him about liberty’s knee don’t like what I see. A toner hobbyist may jump on the coin irregardless of that. Eye appeal may rule the day.

However if it will sell on bourse moot issue. CPG about $510. You could try listing it on the bay bin / make offer. The dark toning will get worse as time goes on.

Green CAC on coin and deserves it: 6
Green CAC on coin and doesn't deserve it: 4
Gold CAC on coin and deserves it: 1
Gold CAC on coin but should only be Green: 2
Gold CAC on coin but should not sticker:
Failed to sticker but deserves a sticker: 3
Failed to sticker and should not sticker: 1
Unknown sticker status and deserves a sticker:1
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

 

Interesting that it was something not really mentioned by anyone here (likely can only be seen in hand). I agree with your thinking and see it as a solid coin.

@ldhair you are up next...

 

Sorry I'm slow.
NGC PF64

 

The proof looks nearly cameo. I was trying to figure out if it has been cleaned but am leaning against that so should it get no bean, green bean, gold bean? I could definitely see a green bean and wouldn't be shocked if it got a gold bean. So green bean it is.

 

Green bean for a rock solid grade.

 

Proofs are harder to judge. One of the photos makes it look like there might be too many hairlines for the 64 grade, but the others seem fine.
I'll guess it is solid and the color helps too,
so I will say GREEN CAC

 

Couldn’t agree more. I’m very surprised it didn’t go cam. Green cac

 

Ngc PF 64 half 10c - yes to Green Cac. Beautiful coin.

 

I see hairlines in the fields with the bottom left photo. Could be die polishing though. I haven't a clue. This is the main reason I've never cared for proof coins as even acceptable things (like die polish) make it "look" like hairlines. I'll go out on a limb and say no CAC.

It got the bean. Not enough to make Cam.

 

Pretty coin!
