I just handed off a handful of coins from the collection to my LCS. They'll be sending them off to CAC for consideration of a sticker (just sticker, not grading) when they send their next shipment. While I hope they all get the bean I am doubtful about a few of them. I thought it might be fun to post here and hear your opinions on which will sticker and which won't.
I'll post the results when they come in. We're anticipating late December / early January - ish.

I think the DMPL Morgan will probably sticker. I'm not sure about the rest.

Will wager DMPLMorgan and Ike will sticker - the others about 50/50. Others: No 1 and no 4 most likely.
What I would like to Calc sometimes from the reveal is the increase in CPG MV (bottom line result) for the submission (now CAC CPG MV). New CPG MV vs original at submission.

Got the coins back today and three of them got a sticker, see below. The three that stickered are the three least valuable in terms of dollars but are the three most valuable to me personally. I'm tickled pink that these coins got a bean.
The first is the '29 LM4/V13 plate coin from the Logan/McCloskey half dime bible. On top of that it's one of the prettiest CBH10¢'s I've ever seen and I feel priviliged to be among its list of custodians.
Second is the '37 LM4 that I wrangled out of the hands of my friend and half dime mentor Steve Crain (@MrHalfDime) many years ago. It's the only coin I have from Steve and I cherish it greatly. Putting a bean on it probably wouldn't matter a whole lot to him but it does make me smile a bit.
Last is the '32 50¢ (O120 I think) that I added to my collection decades ago, a PCGS AU50. I "sold" the coin to my real world best friend, who was also a collector (@famousramos). He promptly cracked it out and stuffed it in his Dansco 7070. It lived there for several years until his untimely passing at the age of 37. His wife generously allowed me to retrieve the coin as a memento. Some time later I re-submitted it to PCGS and it graded as an XF45, which is good as AU50 was a bit too optimistic IMHO. I'm much happier with a properly graded coin with a bean than an over graded coin without a bean.
Congrats on the good results - especially for those half dimes! I remember checking this thread out (and LOL'ing at the pic of Mr. Bean!) but I don't think I was brave enough to guess. Primarily because I didn't want to jinx you...my record with green beans is not stellar.
FWIW, my opinion on those two half dimes in the grades listed was, "they should bean." Those are both top notch.
Congrats, @Cladiator !

Congratulations on the stickers!
If I may ask a question: Why did every single poster in this thread correctly state that the 1859 dollar would NOT sticker? I'm very inexperienced, and think that the coin looks nice. I'm hopeful that I'll be adding a seated liberty dollar to my collection soon, so I want to educate myself.

That 1829 5 cent piece looks totally awesome to me, really great eye appeal!
Mr_Spud
Congrats on getting the most meaningful coins to sticker! The value in plate coin, CAC, and grade for the 1829 is huge! If CAC stickers or grades medals, I would have to send them the ex-Crain Valentine! Remember how much he used to talk about someday finding that one? Such entertainment!
The surfaces. Notice the unevenness of the toning and halos around the stars on the obverse. The reverse looks a bit better but in general the coin appears to have had some help of one kind or another along the way.
Still a very nice example and I’d have taken a shot on it as well.
