    I like that as an XF45. Great color, clean surfaces, and fully original. B)

    Awesome original skin... XF42.5... ;)

    Edited to add... likely with a CAC sticker too. I love the surfaces on this coin...

    VF30 - only because nobody else said it. I suspect it's actually higher but I can't grade gold very well at all.

    Well.. was going to guess 45.... However, I would not argue with the 40.... I like gold coins, and tend to see them favorably.... Cheers, RickO

    Excellent example! I was on the fence between 40 and 45 so I split the difference... ;)

    The original surfaces is was really grabbed my attention. Beautiful coin...

    So... this begs a CAC question that I am reluctant to ask but I am anyway.

    If CAC thought it was worthy of a 45, would it have received a gold bean instead of a green?

    That may read as a lame question, but the difference remains within the EF spectrum which may or may not warrant a color change

    edited to add-- There are many flat strikes for this series and 1854 is one of those dates. I still like it as a 45

    I think so? Gold bean would mean they thought it worthy of a higher grade, right? I’ve never submitted to CAC, though I have a few green beans in my collection now. (No gold beans.)

    Personally, I’m content with it as a 40, but a lot of the commentary here has been pleasing. I paid rather stiffly for the coin but don’t regret that much. I did what I had to do to win it.

    I have never submitted anything to CAC, but from reading here my understanding is that it only gets gold CAC if they think it will not only grade within the next level higher but also that it would be a top end PQ coin in that next higher grade.

    I was at 40, with maybe a shot at 45, and excellent appeal for the grade ... so 40 and a bean looks right.

    Great looking coin!

    I was going back and forth between 40 and 45 but settled with 45. It’s a beautiful coin, one worthy of a stretch price. Don’t blame you for paying extra, I would have done the same!
