<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jom, post: 4411996, member: 31102&quot;]Sorry....been busy.&nbsp; My bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sent the coin into CAC in July of 2015 and it FAILED.&nbsp; My notes say JA told me the reverse was &quot;buffed&quot;.&nbsp; And although you&#039;d think the problem was the obverse that wasn&#039;t the case.&nbsp; I was just like most of you....it was a no-brainer Green Bean.&nbsp; I guess not...live and learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Note that Physics-Fan is spot on in that CAC (ie JA) does not care for secondary toning...which happens A LOT with 19th Century material (busts, seated etc).&nbsp; This submission was still during the time it took me to figure out CAC and their standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should also note the JA did tell me he often finds these coins attractive but not something they want to sticker.&nbsp; It&#039;s a bit hard to describe the discussions we&#039;ve had but he says there&#039;s nothing wrong with collecting non-CAC material and he seems a bit disappointed that sometimes non-CAC material gets a bad rap at times.&nbsp; At least that&#039;s the impression I got from him the few times we&#039;ve talked.&nbsp; Nice guy...BTW.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it should be noted that in general 20th Century material is viewed a bit differently.&nbsp; Often these don&#039;t get beans due to overgrading.&nbsp; Whereas Bust material often fails due to other problems.&nbsp; So if you see a non-CAC 1829 half dime that is in a circulated grade it&#039;s a pretty good bet the coin might very well be in the correct grade but failed due to other issues.&nbsp; Most 20th Century circulated issues aren&#039;t valued enough for submission so you don&#039;t see this kind of thing very much.</p><p><br /></p><p>jom[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
