UPDATED: This is a pretty incredible accomplishment by quite the advanced collector. Although he is in search of a PCGS/CAC F12 and ...Mint State of course, the primary purpose of this thread is to share this collection. There are only 10 Problem-Free examples above G04 and this has not changed in over 1.5 years since this thread was originally created. There are no G06 examples. This collection of examples represents 10 out of the 13 CAC attributed coins. Problem-free examples are tough to obtain.

Please reach out of you know of the F12 or are able to locate a Mint State example. :wink:

PCGS AU50 CAC Pop 1/0

PCGS XF45 CAC Pop 2/1

PCGS VF20 CAC Pop 1/4

PCGS F15 CAC Pop 1/5

PCGS VG10 CAC Pop 1/7

PCGS VG08 CAC Pop 2/8

PCGS G04 CAC Pop 4/10

PCGS AG03 CAC Pop 12/14

PCGS AG03 CAC Pop 12/14

PCGS FR02 CAC Pop 7/26

    I missed this thread the first time around.

    This is a highly interesting collecting quest. And I must say, every coin in his set is quite attractive. Wild that he’s managed to wrap up all but 4 of this variety graded VG08 or higher.

    Thread from January 2024 has been updated today. The collector has gone through an amazing effort to put this together.

    No updates since July. Still looking for a CAC F12 and of course the Mint State example that eludes all of us. :smile:

    With the run on silver, there will likely be less of these!
