nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5928 Posts	Posted 01/03/2006 8:49 pm Sorry about the dusty slab. My eyes are not the worlds best and I can't see the dust until the picture is taken even with my milk bottom glasses. So What do you think PCGS called this one Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 01/03/2006 11:02 pm Grading proof coins is new for me, but I'll take a shot at this. It looks like there's a little hazing on the reverse left. I'd call it PF68. If that's not hazing and it's just dust, I'll say PF69. The intitials on the obverse look mushy on the obverse or I'd say PF70 (with dust and no hazing). I'm very curious to see if I'm right. Report this Post to the Staff
adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 01/03/2006 11:14 pm The fields are pretty dark in the photo, so it's kind of hard to see if there are any hairlines. I would guess (just for the sake of guessing!) Pr-68 Cameo. There looks like a vertical mark in the frost on Jefferson's forehead. Do we get more than one guess? My second guess is Pr-67 cam. If those aren't right, let me know and I'll be happy to guess again! Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/04/2006 02:56 am PR-68 D-cam I assuming that it was slabbed a few years ago, when the qulifications for deep cam were a little easier. The balckness of the fields tells me this coin has very deep mirrors ,the only reason I went with 68 is due to the hairlines I can see on the reverse, if these are more predominate than the pics show, then 67-Dcam.

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5928 Posts	Posted 01/04/2006 9:46 pm Metalman I would tend to agree with you but for the fact I own 3 of these graded several years apart and they all seem to me to be PR68s I'm not complaining mind you the price jump from 68DCAM to 69DCAM is huge...
