...or not? My 2 year buying spree has come to a halt, but just couldn't resist this one. I think it's a top pop, only 3 PCGS, and 1 ANACS exist. Is it too good of a deal, or am I fooling myself? Buyer has one neg feedback for not shipping a coin. They haven't shipped yet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/28183428664...RK:MEBIDX:IT |

I am not well versed on high-end slabbed coins, but I just looked at what NumisMedia says for 1959 Proof-69... RD 175.00
RD Cameo 562.50
RD Deep Cameo 6,250.00 I think you got a great deal.  |

Darn, was almost hoping it wasn't such a good deal. I smell a rat, but too soon to throw in the towel. The seller also knew it was a nice coin, like they mentioned in the description. If the photos were better, they probably could have gotten a lot more for it. Might be worth it for them to keep the coin and take a feedback hit.

Yeah, I'm assuming it's a point over graded, but the seller thinks it's gold.

Well, even if it crosses at ONLY a PF67 to PCGS, their book value is $275 for Deep Cameo! Nice pick up!

I bet you get it. The issue is it really a DCAM? The haze around Lincoln's head and through ONE CENT say it's probably not DCAM but you'll have to see it in-hand. If it is it's a great score. There were over a million of these proofs struck and PCGS has certified 3 as 69DCAM out of around 2,000 1959 LMC proofs certified by them. DCAM is tough to get at the big boys and that's where the real value's at. |

Yeah, the best thing about it might be the holder. ANACS only certified one of them, no 68s, and the next closest is a 67. Probably worth a shot at a cross.

PF68 Cameo, or PF67 DCAM and it was still a good buy. I think you took a good risk. Nice catch!
