Classic Chocolate Brown surfaces with nice obvious luster, a few small hints of original red in well protected areas. Very clean, I was somewhat surprised that this did not 64; certainly I think PQ with or without CAC approval. Not a lot at CAC, probably due to the relative lack of price premium that would encourage submission, but still nice to have the "bean". I have long noted that CAC does not like Brown Cents unless they have some "pop", which this coin certainly does. For reference, 222 at PCGS, 137 NGC versus only 11 CAC stickered (July, 2025), plus 1 in the new CACG holder. Per their policy, this is guaranteed to cross to CACG at the same grade, if submitted in situ.
