Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 4:08 pm Just got a few proof coins I was checking over for errors or doubling... New to looking at proof coins, just wanted to get some other opinions about whether this may hub doubled or MD? I think the coin has obv & reverse die dents? Also, is this a DCAM? It mirrors like a proof but doesn't have the white devices...it just has mirror like shine on entire coin... Thanks - delving into new territory ;) Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin looks like a normal proof coin, not a Cameo or D-Cam. Cameo: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...5c-cam/84194 Normal: PR-68 $17 PCGS SRP https://www.PCGS.com/cert/36860198 Not worth grading even at PR-68 Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 6:27 pm Gotcha... Thanks Coop! I see it has a high 68 POP ;) It is a nice coin. And just got a few of my first proof in hand and under a scope... I started out with and have mostly been looking at business strikes and circulated coins. Just trying to learn more about proof coins and difference between DCAM and CAM and reg proof coins for various years. Thanks for the info!

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 6:53 pm Proof coins often show a slight doubling because they were impressed twice. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 7:16 pm I liked buying the cello proofs for doubled dies on nickels. They were cheaper than cello proof cents. But the 1960's nickels in cello had some that were turning in color. Nice doubled dies when you find them. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 01:23 am Not a problem. As it brings my older posts back to the forum. So when you see something on these other links, comment on that thread and others can re-read/read for the first time, something that was posted before. It all good. I like it when I get asked for a clarification, as I get to re-think a better way to present the subject. It keeps the dust off the brain cells. Report this Post to the Staff
