1961 LCg Graded Proof Lincoln Cent

Highly unlikely it's DCAM (I'm expecting better from the reverse), but in truth the images aren't up to any opinion when we're talking about a grade this high. You can't even attempt a 69 without very large, professional-quality images and anyone trying to offer a grade based on these would be doing you a disservice as a result.

PCGS has only ten in this grade, and only ICG has ever graded one PR70 among the trustworthy TPG's. I'm really no fan of their Proof grading.

If you can find more than a couple of marks anywhere on the coin, with magnification, it's not a 69. And those marks need to be in unobtrusive places. I'm not concerned with the look of your images because it's in the slab, and most of what we see here is probably from the slab itself. It may not even be possible to image the coin with sufficient accuracy in the slab, unless you very carefully manipulate the focus plane and depth of field.

If that was mine I would have put it in an Album. Just shows you who doesn't know stuff well.
