What's the lowest graded coin you've seen with a CAC sticker?

This one sure qualifies.

Post up photos of others that just missed the "lowball" cut . . . . .

MS 63 $20 Double Eagle. A guy with the largest / most valuable slab inventory had about 6 or 7. (Recent show) Beyond that no CAC on floor. Abt 40 dealers.

Now that 1915 looks really nice. CPG $94 / $113 CAC. It’s a highly sought after date. Many buy those lower grade slabs to crack and put in their album.

I've seen some Poor-1's with CAC but this is my lowest example.

I am surprised that these lowball coins even get sent to CAC. Now that I think about it.... Why not? People like them and collect them, so might as well get them beaned. Cheers, RickO

Sent this one in about 12 years ago, not mine anymore....

This one is for sale on eBay Poor 1 with a CAC sticker. As a lowball collector, is it better to have one at the high end of the grade or low end?

I've seen lower, but this is my lowest.

You would want one that DID not CAC.

Someone posted a 1916 SLQ graded Poor-1 CAC earlier this week. There was no date on the coin, so it was attributed by die markers. I can’t remember which thread or who posted it.

IMHO if you like lowball coins then you would hunt for a high lowball grade 🤔
I am willing to go low for $5 Gold capped Half Bust even details ☺️

Here's a pattern on eBay.

By the way, I agree with @slider23 -- wouldn't you rather have a CAC-rejected low-ball if that's what you were collecting?

Doesn't a CAC sticker defeat the lowball purpose? Which is a lower lowball? a P1 with a CAC sticker or A P1 without a CAC sticker?

That PF3 has a beautiful date

This has been debated here before in other threads. Consensus was that a CAC bean on a PO01 also denotes an original, naturally worn, decent planchet without cleaning, etc. But of course, it was also conceded that a PO01 without some of those characteristics might better exemplify the true meaning of a lowball. Depends on the lowball collector I guess…. 😆
