1908-Philly-


Curious if I send this off to CAC is it worth my time to do it? This is all new to me so I'm not sure. I mean to me its gorgeous either way and by no means did I buy this to sell but maybe for the future it might be smart to try to get the "green beenie" on it? I can post real pics later on if you cannot tell from the PCGS pics. Thanks!
Rest in Peace

Once you achieve 65 or higher on a SG even the best photos are probably not reliable. Your coin certainly deserves its 66. I finally found my own 66 for the no motto a few months ago, and I probably looked at 60-70 before I found one I love.

So I do have fairly intimate knowledge about this coin in this grade.

You may not know it, but unless things have changed very recently, you, as an individual, can't submit coins to CAC.

Last time I checked they were not accepting new accounts.

Since Heritage submits nearly all their better auction lots to CAC before auctioning, they alone probably keep a couple graders busy.

CAC will accept new collector members if one calls or emails to ask for an application. It may take a couple of months but they will eventually get the submission packet in the mail (despite what their website may reflect).
