This PCGS MS62 example in a classic OGH earned its CAC sticker through solid technical quality and appealing surfaces. The coin glows with rich, original gold color and displays the satiny luster typical of mint state Indian Head gold. Clean fields show minimal contact marks, while the devices retain sharp detail throughout. The eye appeal significantly exceeds what you'd typically expect at the MS62 level - exactly the kind of coin CAC was designed to recognize.
