I was reading the section about Sacagawea (Sac) coins in the MegaRed book (which I really like btw), and noticed in the price chart a grade of PF-69DC (priced the same as MS-66).

I thought that DC might stand for Deep Cameo, but they state (on page 17 of the book) that the abbreviation for Deep Cameo is DCam.

Is DC the same as DCam, perhaps for use in charts?

Thanks!

Mark

P.S. For my fellow newbies, 'MegaRed' is a nickname for the book, although the term is featured prominently on the cover. The citation is:

Yeoman, R. S., Bressett, K., Bowers, Q. D., & Garrett, J. (Eds.) (2016). A Guide Book of United States coins, 2nd Edition: The Official Red Book, Deluxe Edition. Atlanta, GA: Whitman Publishing.

I assume so. Takes up less space in the column headers.

Yes.
However, if a coin is laying around a lot, might mean Dust Collector.

Deep Cameo or Daniel Carr depending on the coin

It can also mean Discovery Coin. For instance I have 5 DC vams to my name
