Bean or No Bean

[greysoldier]

Here is a PCGS MS62 Liberty Seated Half Dollar ~ CAC Bean worthy or no? Your thoughts please.

Looks like a solid 62 to me with those scratches. Don't think it would warrant a bean if the bean means anything better than what it is. Not my series though.

[greysoldier]

Thanks Bobby !

[messydesk]

I don't see why not from the pictures.

[greysoldier]

Thanks John. I appreciate your comment and will post the result.

Since it is in a 62 holder the only things I think it could keep it from getting CAC approval are rub (meaning it's AU) or a lot of hairlines from cleaning.

 

Otherwise, I don't see any issues that can keep it from beaning.

Almost looks like one of Eric Newman's coins based on the long term envelope stored toning. It's a nice example for a MS62 as it's tough to find any early examples in seated halves or dollars which haven't been boinked repeatedly. So beano before or no beano afterward you'd be hard pressed to find something better at this grade range.

Not my series but I don't see any problems , and I would be more than happy to send it in for you.

[greysoldier]

Thanks everyone. This will be my first coin that has gone to CAC and I am interested to see the result.

[MarkFeld]

My guess is no. It appears as if there might be light rub on Liberty's leg and breast.

[Raisethis2]

That's a tough deal there because in the picture what might be rub on the right breast might also be a break in the toning. If this coin were white I'd guess that disappears.

 

I think the strike will carry the coin, so I'm giving it a green bean.

[KeyMan64]

I think I see rub and for that reason I would say no.

[greysoldier]

Thanks for all of the observations and comments. More will be revealed when it returns from CAC.

[physics-fan3.14]

Hard to tell from those pics, but if what I am seeing is rub (and the coin is actually an AU-62), then I would say no.

[Walkerfan]

Strike is magnifico----I say bean!

 

That is assuming there is no rub on that left facing breast, which I am guessing there is not.

 

I'd have to see it in hand to be certain.

[coinman_23885]

It looks like an AU58 slider to me, so I'll say no.

[greysoldier]

Keep those cards and letters coming. Each one adds a little more insight about important aspects to consider.

[coinman_23885]

That's a tough deal there because in the picture what might be rub on the right breast might also be a break in the toning.

 

Agreed, but I lean towards rub. If it is a break in toning and not rub, then it should pass CAC.

My feeling is it's not going to sticker because of a lack of eye appeal. But, I don't do those and could be totally wrong.

[michael]

hard for me to grade/tell from photos but since this is all we got here

 

 

my vote is au-62 with below average eye appeal so no bean

 

again only based on photos

I don't think eye appeal will be an issue. The coin looks highly original, many lower grade unc. coins are not especially attractive and I have seen a great many higher grade coins with CAC stickers which weren't any better looking than this one.

[greysoldier]

No "bean" for the seated lady, but I still love her just as much !

[leeg]

I didn't see any lustre in the images so I was going to say no bean.

 

A little late to the game on my part.

 

 

Still a nice example.

+1 CAC rewards originality.

I would take my turn at bat, send it in. Its value warrants the expense and I would be really curious of the result.
