FUN Show Grading Results (Photos added)

I figured I would post how the FUN show grading went for me. Note: Submissions were taken back to CA and shipped back for free as part of the service since there was no on-site grading.
I submitted 4 condition census coins for reconsideration of a “+”. They were all CAC early gold I didn’t want to risk a full upgrade and losing the sticker and the value/liquidity that comes with it. Note, for all four coins there were no “+” coins in the grade. I also submitted each coin individually as to try to limit bias and also since shipping was free anyway. (yes, they did actually send 4 separate packages).
Results: 1 of 4 upgraded. I was happy with this result based on the current value and standing of the coins in the condition census. The upgraded coin is now #4 in the condition census, top pop CAC, and R7 variety as a little extra icing on the cake.
Note: Two of the coins submitted came back from CAC previously with notes on them being “wow” coins. Neither of those received the plus.
In my opinion all 4 coins will upgrade eventually since they are all light years ahead in quality for the grade from anything I’ve seen on Coinfacts or in person in a really long time, if ever. You just have to play the game as they say.
See photos…..anyone want to guess which one upgraded?

Wonderful, just wonderful. The 1829 has my vote.
Nice! 1804 upgraded

Without knowing the original grades, guessing the one that upgraded is a die roll. Digging into the hints you provided might help, but I'm just going to stop and say they are all stunning coins!

Hint….they all had the same before grades.
I'll go with the 1806. To me the strike is excellent. They're all gorgeous!
Nice gold! I would take any or all of them.
1829
Way above my means Proofmorgan, you sure do have some great coins.
Without knowing what is what, I really like the 1804.
Very nice.
Hoard the keys.
Those are very nice gold coins... No idea which one got the +.... Cheers, RickO
The 1806 is my guess. All are stunning!

The 1806 took the plus for those that guessed/were curious.
Oh Wow!!
Since I don't know what the grades were, hard to say which upgraded, but the 1807 is unbelievable, and the 1829 Fathead is superlative.
Of course, all four are simply breath-taking. Thanks for sharing!!

Can't speculate based on not knowing what they graded before the resubmission.
Also, just curious if our hosts said 3 of the 4 don't deserve the + then what does the cacs really mean? Why do you think the other 3 will upgrade a full grade in the future when they won't upgrade a + now?
For the record I like all 4 of the coins very much.
RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wow! Love the overdate!
1804 upgraded.
All beautiful.
Congratulations
So what did I win...

I think they should all + in the future based on the eye appeal compared to their peers as well as being high end for the grade. The way the grading game works requires resubmissions to get coins where they ultimately belong.
