Hey !

In a recent Sunday afternoon eBay auction, I was fortunate to have cherrypicked this 16D, which appears to be VG10/F12 level preservation, hiding in a G6 holder. Did PCGS fall asleep at the wheel with this one!? Surprised the owner didn’t resubmit themselves.

One of the most heralded key dates in 20th century numismatics undergraded by at least 2 grades (if not 3)?!

I’m considering crossover to CACG, specifying a minimum grade of VG10. But what do you all think about sticker submission instead? Theoretically, this would be an easy gold sticker, no? Will future value hold better for gold-stickered G6 or accurately graded VG10 or F12?

Third and fourth pic are (typical) CAC-stickered (green) PCGS G6 specimens for reference.

  Samthecoinman thanks for checking in! I’m finally in the process of getting my collection ready to send out. I’m looking to have a professional numismatist review for likely CAC candidates. Hopefully will have this coin in front of CAC by end of January or so.

one_fine_dime https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1116064/lowest-graded-coin-to-receive-gold-cac-sticker It appears that oreville, a collector on another forum has a G-4 1916D Mercury Dime in OGH. Just thought I would pass this on.

Sorry folks, I’ve been slow to resubmit. I’ve recently been in touch with CACG, trying to clarify some of their pricing. They of course want to charge separate S&H for “standard”, “economy”, and “variety attribution”. For the time being, here is a CACG 1916-D F12 currently for sale at Coast to Coast Coins. Looks like very consistent wear compared to my PCGS “G6”.

  one_fine_dime Are you resubmitting? I would try for a gold bean first.

  pcgsregistrycollector good suggestion but since it appears to be undergraded by more than one grade point, I’m thinking a new grade of VG10 or F12 could be more valuable than a gold stickered G6.

  one_fine_dime it would be more registry points, but for resale gold CAC wins

  Tsevni2 one_fine_dime Especially because the Gold CAC is so rare on modern slabs. I've also yet to see a Gold CAC'd 1916-D Mercury Dime.

  pcgsregistrycollector I've almost never seen a Gold CAC on a modern PCGS holder.

Has this coin come back yet? Looks like about a vg10 if I had to guess.

Perhaps the rim weakness accounted for the grade, but I agree that most of the coin has enough detail for vg. Coins don't wear uniformly.

The set is private so it is hidden. We do have a work order to have something in its place so it is not just a blank space.
