Abstract: We show that the GIT quotients of suitable loci in the Hilbert and Chow schemes of 4-canonically embedded curves of genus $gge3$ are the moduli space $$ of pseudo-stable curves constructed by Schubert in cite{Schubert} using Chow varieties and 3-canonical models. The only new ingredient needed in the Hilbert scheme variant is a more careful analysis of the stability with respect to a certain 1-ps $lambda$ of the $m^{extth}$ Hilbert points of curves $X$ with elliptic tails. We compute the exact weight with which $lambda$ acts, and not just the leading term in $m$ of this weight. A similar analysis of stability of curves with rational cuspidal tails allows us to determine the stable and semistable 4-canonical Chow loci. Although here the geometry of the quotient is more complicated because there are strictly semi-stable orbits, we are able to again identify it as $$. Our computations yield, as byproducts, examples of both $m$-Hilbert unstable and $m$-Hilbert stable $X$ that are Chow strictly semi-stable.
