Tougher in the grade (if graded by "old school" standards) than its Philadelphia cousin in my opinion, despite having a few more certified by PCGS/NGC. Strike is the issue, and I find that many "EF's" lack definition in the fasces, being certified Net based upon Obverse detail. This coin is struck far better than most, with bold details around the rims, uncommon as noted in Lange. A full set of lines in the fasces as well, with obvious remaining luster in protected areas around the rims. Now the CAC question: to my knowledge this coin has not been seen. It is my opinion that this certainly meets the standards for the grade, however as picky as CAC is, the coin is likely only a 50-50 proposition, due to surface. This is a bit scruffy on the Obverse, and was possibly lightly cleaned a VERY long time ago. Either way, I am not asking a CAC premium, so possibly an opportunity for someone here, if they want to take the shot. It should work for someone who is just looking for a "meaty" example. I am also offering the companion 1921 in PCGS/CAC XF-45 as a separate listing, and would be happy combine shipping (please ask how). Due to value this will require Insured shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
