I went to visit CAC yesterday. Saw JA and also saw Laura Sperber who stopped by as well. . Nice chat with both.
It warmed up quite a bit in NJ so I forgot to tale my winter coat back with me. JA offered to ship it back to me but I rejected the kind offer stating that I will return anyway in late January 2023 to pick up my January 3rd submissions as well as my coat .
The fear is that JA will red dot my coat as not qualifying for a green sticker similar to George Constanza of TV Seinfeld Show buying a white cashmere sweater with a red dot!

Reminds me of “No Soup for you” from the Soup Nazi!
Thats very cool Oreville !!!
Hey I’m going to Cac ! “ Hi JA im here to pick up Oreville’s jacket for him “ 😉🤓😂😎
So, now is a good time to ask the question; Are "all" Red Dots a kiss of death?
I have a coin with a Red Dot that I want to send to CACG. It was rejected for "No Liberty", which to me, would mean it could cross at a lower grade.
It is a really nice original coin and I would most likely accept "one" grade down, but if the Red Dot means Fuhgettaboutit, then why send it in.
Perhaps we can all learn something if you post it here as well?
I would be surprised to find any other issues with an in-person inspection but it is always possible.
Here is what the Osburn/Cushing book has to say >
"1870-CC examples are usually well struck on the reverse, sometimes with very slight weakness on the claws. The obverse strike is normally soft. The central obverse almost always exhibits slight weakness. LIBERTY is often weaker for a given grade than would be expected for coins from other mints. Stars exhibit centrals that are slightly weak to totally flat, depending on the die marriage. High-grade examples are almost always prooflike, or at least slightly so. Coinage runs were short, and the dies were apparently polished prior to each run."
I think it will grade VG-10 at CACG.
One error on your part.
Its Oreville not Orville.LOL.
