    “ his failure to leave well enough alone”

    If you want to pursue a registry with Overton numbers, the only way you get credit for a particular number is to have the attribute applied. This was the second coin in this pedigree that I wanted to do. The first one with a CAC sailed through. If CAC thought the second coin was originally worthy, they should have applied it a second time. None of this crap that the coin was damaged during the attribution application. His “rub” was the rub on the cheek that was there before when CAC applied the first bean. Hence their standards have changed.

    I totally get where you are coming from, but, as others pointed out, standards didn't change. They just missed it the first time. As did you.

    You didn't leave well enough alone, pursued the registry, and it cost you. JA generously offered to take you out of it for what you had in it, which he did not have to do. Or give you a $500 consolation prize, which he really did not have to do.

    Lesson learned. Or not, depending on whether registry pursuit is more important than economic value. Depending on the value of the coin, maybe the move going forward would be to ask for an opinion on whether a particular coin would still sticker if resubmitted in a new attribution slab before cracking it out and losing the bid guarantee.

    While you are apparently unhappy with JA's response, what would PCGS have offered you if they felt the coin did not deserve a MS62 slab? Wonder why that didn't happen, when JA didn't feel it wasn't 62 at all, let alone solid for the grade? You probably did pretty well by getting your money back and allowing JA to add it to his grading collection.

    Standards is probably the most overused and misunderstood word used on this forum.

This seems like "Legacy" cross is no sure thing. I personally can recall a couple dogs having the green bean. If it were me I would keep this lady in her forever holder.

    I have submitted several coins for re-holder this year and every one of them came back with new cert numbers.

    Are you sure these weren’t submitted using Regrade or Reconsideration? Ive sent many in over the years for reholdering and not one cert number has ever been changed. I’ve never seen it happen.

    It looks fine to me at the assigned grade.

    You are correct, I was mistaken. Reviewed the order and I know they retained the old cert numbers or else they would all be sequential.

    @MFeld I see the large dark toning streak in the obverse field. I see verticle streaks in the field. Scratches and pockmarks on her chin. This coin IMO is a barely "B" coin that if ever sent for crossover would in all likelihood be reholdered as a 45 Legacy.

    I agree it’s a technical AU50, but surprised it’s straight graded. Granted I didn’t get to see it in hand like the experts, but it looks like it was rubbed or slid across an abrasive surface, which I wouldn’t think would be normal marks from circulation.

    Personally, I don't like the coin, either, due largely to the flaws you mentioned. But it's circulated - graded AU50, not mint state - and looks far better than 45. So even though I don't like it, I have no issue with the grade or the sticker.
    One thing I learned long ago in the grading room is that just because you don't like a coin doesn't necessarily mean it's not graded accurately, or even that it's not nice for the grade.

    I hereby charge you with the offense of under-grading an accurately graded coin, because you don't like it. ;)

    JA called me today and we discussed the issue. He said this happens about 1 in 5000 coins. Just happened to be my coin. He is going to talk to PCGS and see if they would agree to down grade the coin to a AU58+ and he would bean the coin. He is giving me a discount on buying the coin back. While not a perfect ending it is one I can live with and appreciate his call and helping me with it.

    Please don’t add to this thread. If you want to continue discussions on the other topics that wound up in this thread please open a new thread. Thank you.

    Glad it worked out in the end.

    It's about as perfect as I would imagine it could ever be.
    What it is PCGS and/or CAC could have done more for you making it "perfect"?
    (My question may well be rhetorical as the OP appears to not want to further this thread for some reason...)

    I wish I could hit both the Agree and Like buttons.

    I agree 100%. This whole thread was ridiculous as CAC offered resolution from the very beginning but the OP's anger got in the way of his reason.

    I'm a bit surprised that cac's determination was so strong in pulling their sticker of the MS62 Bust half as there are a lot of those I've seen in Unc. holders with friction. Since we didn't get images, it's hard to know how bad it was.

    CACG's stated grading standard is to not allow friction in MS grades. My guess is that stickering these coins was more acceptable when stickered TPGs were both doing it, but now that CACG has a different standard, CACS needs to toe the line with CACG.

    Regarding the 1 in 5000 coins, I'm wondering if there's any relationship to the coins that don't make it. For example, if a large portion of them are MS coins with friction. Also, what is the ratio of stickered coins with friction in MS holders to total number of stickered coins.

    Great question. I would guess that your example is correct, that the most "improperly CACed" coins are MS with slight rub that was overlooked first time around. I would guess second place would be some sort of in-holder change.
