Dropped off 20 coins at FUN for CAC Stickering. Will take a few weeks for results; in the meantime thought it'd be fun to crowdsource guesses. Take a stab and I'll update the post when the coin is back. Include your reasoning, if you care to.

I believe this coin won't CAC. Although the original color is rather pleasing, the huge cuts on the neck and face derive it from a CAC Sticker. That's just MY opinion.
My vote does not count!
what makes you think your vote isint worth anything? it is
My vote would be not to submit it, even if it looked like a lock for a green sticker. Flame away!

Hits on her neck and the corrosion spot inside the D on the reverse exclude this coin from CAC IMO. Plus the majority of the reverse’s surface looks corroded with a black substance.
No longer an option! Already in CAC's hands.
What do you think the result will be, Mark? No flaming from me for a guess in any direction.

My guess is no - I wish I felt differently.

The coin looks to have fantastic luster, and the marks seem appropriate for the grade. But if the photo accurately depicts the haze then I vote no. I guess I'm being a real Debbie Downer as I've opined no on both so far.

Might catch the dreaded PVC hit on this one due to the haze.

I think, unfortunately, no… I’m in agreement that the coin hung out too long in an inappropriate home…
Just for learning, is it the area by the 4 that you are referring, or the whole coin in general. I thought that light champagne/rose/rust colored toning was the initial stage of toning, or something like that.
I was referring to the whole coin in general.

No for the hits and haze. Color is just fine.

It's odd that they would penalize haze, yet outright corrosion is often rewarded for its "crustiness."
Where have you seen corrosion rewarded?

Crack it, acetone bath and submit to CACG. Just kidding.
I think the haze is an issue - particularly liberty’s hair and the center of the eagle.
I like the coin… not all coins need stickers and this is one that does not need a sticker.
The Law of Diminishing Returns applies here.
The most probable outcome is no sticker…

Here and there. Sorry, but I'm not going to show lots of photos and risk upsetting people here, but my CAC Hall of Shame has about 20 examples. Obviously, it reflects my taste in coins which differ from JA and CAC. Here's one example, and I hope it doesn't offend someone here.
CAC must have loved the overall toning and ignored the ugly corrosion across Ms. Liberty and the shield. I consider it a "C" coin for this corrosion, but the toning is nice.
I hope no one's ever got banned from submitting to cac yet? Just wondering 🤔
I like the originality but I went green CAC just to be a contrarian.

Recall when Don Willis was moderating this forum? Things were different.
I’m also in the no-sticker camp. The haze looks dicey to me.
I can see a bean on this one.
I don't see any corrosion there - just grime from circulation or a counting table

It isn't just dirt or grime. I see this etching and pitting often under "Black crud" on PVC damaged coins.
@Barberian I am with @hummingbird_coins that looks like grime. Type of material that will come off with acetone and one swipe of the Q-Tip. I just carefully touched up a nice collection of early dollars and they all straight graded, not a hint of corrosion seen underneath.
OP I believe CAC is not a fan of coins that exhibit significant haze.

Great! Your coins were apparently different from this one and others in my collection and elsewhere that I've looked at extensively. That etching and pitting from associated "black crud" is definitely NOT going to be wiped away. You may get some black crud off this coin, but the underlying surfaces will be etched. I wish it could as I own several coins with that etched and pitted look.
