1950 S/D 25c in 66+ Will it CAC?

TPRC

I have a high grade 1950 S/D quarter graded MS 66+ by our hosts. It is beautiful, but I do not think it will upgrade given a ding or other problem at around 4 o'clock on the reverse. The question is, will it CAC?

privatecoin

Agree, no CAC.

A few light hits, but I would think yes. Very nice coin!

I think this comes down to, “does the gouge on the reverse rim preclude a sticker at 66?” I don’t know the answer, but the coin looks great otherwise and I don’t see any other factors that would prevent passing at CAC.

I think it would get a green bean.

Yes

pointfivezero

Nice coin. If it CACs, and I think it should, it indicates JA thinks it’s solid for a 66 as they don’t consider the + designation.

Yes, until I saw that hit on the rim at 4:00 on the reverse.

Copperindian

Yes; green bean approved!

Yes / CAC

Yes

Is that really a gouge on the rim, or is it a flake of loose metal ?

TPRC

Good question. I haven't looked at it in hand in a while, but I remember deciding it was a rim ding, which is a bit surprising given the condition of the rest of the coin. I'll have to remember to have another look.

Looking closer, now I think maybe it is a small strike-through.
I doubt that it is a post-mint ding.

I like the coin… so hopefully it gets a green or long shot at gold.

I looked at it again and while I hate to say it, I still believe it is a rim ding; however, perhaps I'll bring it to Baltimore for a closer look with some dealers I know.

That would be one very precise and centralized hit. A strike though seems plausible

davewesen

That is a very nice coin. I guess no CAC

On the reverse the eagle has a scrape going up the neck and machine damage in UNUM and our right (eagle left) wing
