Kudos to the CAC staff for their ever so prompt service! There were some nice choices made, and a couple of head scratchers too. The 1853 25C was a big surprise. I batted .500 this time around (5/10) for new (to me) submittals, plus a couple of re-submittals after the variety was added.

At the end of the day, it just another opinion, and there are some that I don't agree with.

    My favorites are the 1845 followed by the 1853 in very close second.

    Very nice group of coins there.

    I really like the 1853 25c and think you had good results overall.

    Looks like the 78-S $1 may have been held back by the stain/spot by "trust" because it looks like a very wholesome 45 otherwise. I didn't know that CAC would even look at Ike's?

    Thats why I don't believe in CAC, just another opinion on another day subject to change.

    The "spot" by TRUST is a lamination peel...I believe.

    Yep, CAC will accept MS Ikes.

    Hey, I'd buy the '53 25C....Looks pretty wholesome to me! But wonder if what appears to (maybe?) be a couple of field scratches on the obverse is the issue? (Front of the knee, behind the arm on left?)

    As for the Ike, it's such a lofty grade, it's just a matter of CAC deciding it's better than "just" a really nice MS-67....flip a coin.

    Most of the coins in the OP are keepers...the 1845 H10C RPD FS-302 and the 1872-S H10C MM Below MPD FS-302 are in my BST pile, along with a few others.

    I realize you didn't ask for it and I am only guessing as these are the only images I have to go by, but the 1845 half-dime might have been over-dipped and the luster impaired for the AU58 grade while they might not have liked the planchet roller marks on both sides of the 1872-S half-dime. Obviously, both are guesses. The 1878-S Trade dollar sure looks like it has had spot removal done on the obverse, but you indicate otherwise.

    That is a nice group of coins. I hope I don't step on your toes, but here are my reasons why the coins that did fail to CAC didn't CAC.

    1845 half dime - It's a scarce coin for sure, but I think that it was dipped has re-toned mostly on the obverse. The reverse looks dull and washed out for the AU-58 grade.

    1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter - This one is a bit of a head scratcher. Perhaps the powers at be did not care for the toning, but it's a coin I'd buy in a second for AU-50 money.

    1872 Half Dime - This is the one coin I don't care for in the MS-65 grade. I would say that it looks to be an extremely nice MS-64 with a couple of spots.

    1878-S Trade Dollar - At the EF-45 level, this coin is a bit of head scratcher. Perhaps the very minor spotting and some dullness may have left CAC with thought that they did not want to support it in the market.

    1972-S Ike - MS-68 is an extremely lofty grade for one these pieces. There is some minor spotting, and when you get to this near perfect grade, things like that matter.

    A really nice group of coins.... certainly coins that, were I seeking such, I would definitely consider - sticker or not. Cheers, RickO

    Generally agree with Bill Jones here.

    1845 half dime. Doesn't look natural.

    1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter toning is likely the issue.

    1872 Half Dime - rev spot on right wreath too obvious. The roller marks don't help. Miss Liberty's central figure is a much lighter color than the rest of the obverse. Doesn't quite look 100%.

    The 1845 H10C and the 1943 1C are obviously not TrueView images and the toning on the 1845 H10C looks like blued steel to me (although I am color blind). Once I get her back I send her back out for some better images.
