Hello All, Looking for opinions on perhaps submitting this coin for CAC bean. I've had this coin for ages and every time I look at it I just wonder if it would benefit from a CAC confirmation. Thanks in advance !   |

The only way you can know for sure is to submit the coin, but since you asked for an opinion, I will offer that I do not believe this coin would receive a CAC bean.
The reason is that the hair above the ear of liberty is showing wear to the point where it looks smooth or having lost strand detail. I have a coin of this type, graded 45 and it shows sharper hair separation and detail. The reverse is much better though, and that may be better than average for the grade, but the hair detail weakness pointed out is at the coin's central focal point.
That and a sawbuck may get you a cup of Joe.
It is a wonderful coin and thank you for sharing it with us.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Over graded will not sticker in my opinion.
Also lacks the look that CAC requires.
Coin is EF at best

EF40, in my opinion. Way too much circulation wear to call it almost uncirculated.
But CAC will slap a sticker on anything for a fee, it seems.

My opinion is with the others that it will not CAC. John will not like the black marks and amount of surface ticks on the face and neck.

I don't think this would sticker.

JA at CAC typically does not like to sticker the grade of AU50, so the AU 50 grade needs to be special to get a sticker. The 3 leaves variety on the pop report for a green sticker has 26 in XF40 and 19 in XF45 and only 4 in AU50. The grade is a negative to get the sticker. The other negative is the black spots/stains on the obverse. I am at 75% no and 25% yes.
