Re: Will this coin CAC? 1924 Peace $1 (ANA Coin #3) **RESULT POSTED 3/17/25**
The final forum tally: Result: ❌ Did not pass Reason: Reverse abrasions & obverse stains Wow, with the forum consensus overwhelmingly (87%) in favor of a green sticker, the contrary result is an interesting opportunity for further discussion. I always learn the most when I'm proven wrong. I acquired this coin because of… -

Nearly 55,000 Peace dollars have been graded with PCGS at the MS65 level. Nearly 10,000 at MS66. I suspect CAC has not seen: "any MS66 Peace dollar purchased from a dealer has likely already visited CAC and that if it doesn’t already have a sticker then it failed previously." I think the majority of MS66 Peace dollars… -

That is so cool that they gave the reason. I had an MS63 $10 Indian that is just fantastic and I still can't for the life of me figure out why it did not CAC. I will say JA has an awesome job, he gets to see all the top coins which I would consider fun as heck. Getting well paid to do what you love is the dream. -

Most don't use a 10x loupe to grade a silver dollar. Those are very minor abrasions and, when factoring in luster and eye appeal, it's a still a solid 66 imo. At least in these images it is. -

The distinction @TomB made was "purchased from a dealer" (or an auction house) as opposed to residing in collections. From my point of view if 10,000 MS66 Peace dollars have been graded at PCGS (plus the X amount graded at NGC) and 3500 have received CACs, I'd hold out for a MS66 Peace dollar with a CAC. -

Thanks for clarifying. I've examined that area (around the "I" in LIBERTY) extensively under a 10x at all angles, and I can say definitively that it is not a stain—it is a disturbance/flattening of the metal flow lines, although I'm unsure what caused it. -

One was less than a year ago, two others were less than two years ago. One of them was a gem Peace dollar. No, I did not inspect any of them in hand. Edit to add: and actually, those three are the only (non-CAC’d) 4 figure coins I’ve ever bought from DLRC, so I have a 100% success rate of them subsequently beaning. -

Combine PCGS and NGC and you're over 23,500 Peace dollars graded 66/66+. CAC has stickered under 3,400. Greysheet on common dates in 66 is $415. CAC 66s are at $500. Not much of a margin for shipping/insuring/stickering expense: $85. Looking at coins like the OPs that failed? Not worth submitting unless they're better… -

Of course that is true, but it doesn’t mean my knee-jerk reaction can’t be otherwise.
