I submitted my 1917 MS 64 PDS Set of Buffalos to CAC.
I also threw in some AU 58's...but that's another
story !!
Can you guess which one(s) CAC ??

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Everything is all right!
I'll guess the San Francisco coin.

I'll go with the Denver and San Francisco issues, something about the Philly seems off to me.
+1 on the D & S.

1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Spotting aside, that S mint sure has a hammered strike in comparison to its P and D brethren. So I'll guess the San Fran example.
This.

I see no reason for any of them not to sticker.

None.
Two members got it completely wrong, by guessing "None".
MS70 & Realone.
Andy "Blinky" was the first one who guessed correctly.
The Denver and the San Francisco issues passed with
Green Stickers.
My Phila issue that I submitted in an AU 58 holder, also
passed. Can't understand why the 64 did not pass.
Thanks for guessing - as my friend Vern Sebby says,
"It's just a crap-shoot".... How true.

Can't understand why the 64 did not pass.
It could be as simple as CAC having more desire for solid D and S coin of that year. They might want a MS64 Philly coin to be higher end for the grade to assign a sticker....at least on this particular day.

I'm didn't like the large broad hit at the Buffalo's armpit. I'm guessing CAC didn't like it either.
Changed my mind.
Not gonna even guess. I mean, jeez, .....64?
big deal.
I'm didn't like the large broad hit at the Buffalo's armpit. I'm guessing CAC didn't like it either.
I looked in that region and didn't see a hit of note anywhere on all 3 coins. Aren't the arm/leg pits hidden when the buffalo is straight up on all 4's? Do you mean the left front outer shoulder/upper leg?

On the 17-P, if you draw a straight line between the Buffalo's eye and the tip of his tail, just above the armpit you'll see what I mean. It almost looks like part of the design at first but if you compare it to the S and the D, you can't miss it.
Ok. It's fairly subtle imo as it sits under a series of shoulder creases and blends in pretty well. I wouldn't think that mark should be an issue except on 65/66 coins. Would much rather have that contact than the obverse spots on the 17-s. Spot-o-phobia runs pretty wild on the forum at times.

Indeed, if you had to accept a coin with such a hit, you couldn't ask for it to be in a better location and orientation. It looks like part of the design and only by comparing against the two other coins is it obvious.
I think 64 is the correct grade. But I'm only proposing a possible reason why it didn't get stickered.
Wow, I thought that was hit was part of the design at first. While the hit is there, it does not seem distracting to me and would not make it low end IMO.
Don't forget to think about the skin of the coin. CAC is not just about grade, it is about originality as well.
Agreed. The 17-P does not appear to be dipped and if it was, the luster does not appear to be impaired and it is getting a "second skin"

It usually is. But, CAC also stickers dipped out MS64/65 bust, seated, and gold coinage as long as the coin is choice on marks with decent eye appeal. One could call this accepting market realities for what are very market acceptable coins. Having original surfaces is not a must, though I'd figure the larger majority of stickered coins have orig surfaces.
