Lowest graded coin to receive Gold CAC sticker

Was wonder if any lowball or low graded coins ever received a gold CAC. The lowest grade I have seen with a gold CAC was in the XF45 range. I feel my AG03 Texas Rattler would be a good candidate since it looks VG-F all day. LOL

    Assuming there are no other problems, it looks like the Texas should qualify for a gold sticker to me.

    But I wonder if CAC might be influenced by the thought that some collectors of lowball grades may not want a gold sticker and be more inclined to give a green sticker.

    If sending in, it might be worth adding a note that you are fine with a gold sticker if anything qualifies.

    I believe our very own @oreville proudly owns a PCGS OGH 1916-D Mercury Dime in G-4 with a gold bean. And if I recall, there's a fun story behind how he convinced JA it deserved a gold bean.

    Agree with @mattniss regarding @orville and his PCGS OGH 1916-D Merc in G4.

    No pictures, but I was recently looking at ebay auctions for a $3 Gold Princess and saw one in PCGS G4 with a green bean...
