Going CACG

Super interesting 3* variety with great eye appeal. As is usually the case with them, the coin is nice for the grade.

Forgive me if I have already posted it, but this is one of my favorites:

Early last year, I sent this one to Rick Snow and it passed for an eagle eye photo seal.

Hey, @Copperindian , if you're "Going CACG", you should be aware of the following coin being offered by Rick Snow (yes, it was mine):

1894 66+RB.

1. There are NO 1894 RB's graded any finer than this 66+RB by CACG OR PCGS.
2. There's a total of ONLY TWO - This one by CACG, and one graded 66+RB by PCGS.
3. I don't know about the one graded by PCGS, but this one graded by CACG also has Rick Snow's Eagle Eye Photo Seal (in effect, it's "Double-Stickered", since CACG graded it 66+RB). Unlike CAC stickering, which does not recognize plus grades, a coin graded by CACG with a plus grade means that CACG agrees the coin is solid as a plus!
4. Rick says in his listing that in his opinion this coin is 95% Red!

Hey @winesteven: back at ya. I sure know about your coin & I’ve looked it over more than once. She’s an abject beauty, Steve; I’m sorry you’re selling it!
As far as the PCGS example, I own that one. Also EEPS but it’s never been submitted to CAC. I can’t answer if it would hold up to CACG’s exacting standards, but it’s fine enough for me.
Thanks for the heads-up, though. Btw, I’m not actually going CACG (just maybe an awkward header for the coin, awkward especially for those that may have missed my 4 CACG coins from a couple weeks ago)! I like not only their standards, but their holders & the fact they put obscure varieties (not in cherrypickers) on the label. PCGS doesn’t do the latter.

I upgraded that coin with an 1894 MS66+RD, double stickered. Rick gave that new one a PDS score of 15.

Steve -
Now I see why you’re selling! Always good to own a “Bender”; here’s mine:

Man! That’s a fireball!

Trick or Treat

PCGS 65BN. Reminds me of Halloween a bit. Btw, the green is legit, not verdigris. But, while the coin’s a “treat”, here’s the “trick”:

Old tv from the SecurePlus days & yes, it’s the same coin (actually, I wouldn’t mind buying a IHC that looked like that)!

I am very picky on appearance, and I think that coin looks absolutely fantastic!

Much respect 👍

Newest pickup:

Unusual, even rare variety & the only one graded RD. I had a 63BN I used as a trade chip; nice deal for both of us.
