rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 5:25 pm I've been holding off on sending this one in because if you don't get DCAM PF70, it ain't worth it. The single DCAM 70 that's graded via PCGS is a very different color than mine so hard to compare. What grade and designation (Proof, CAM, DCAM) would you give this one?

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 7:47 pm That is a nice looking cent but not likely of pulling a PF-70. The spot on the shoulder is enough to say that the coin is not a "perfect" 70. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 10:33 pm From the pictures it looks lake a very nice cameo example. If anybody can actually distinguish a high proof grade from a picture be my guest...... Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 11:07 pm Like I said before, it is a nice coin and yes it looks cameo, perhaps even deep cameo but there is a reason why only 10 coins have graded PF-70 and only 1 has graded PF-70 DCAM RD. The technology was different back then and perfect coins rarely existed. Great pictures by the way! Edited by MisterT 03/26/2025 11:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It's even more difficult to grade a highly reflective proof coin by photographs - so I'm going to say likely not PF70.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/27/2025 12:28 pm It's not a DCAM so that can be dropped. It might make CAM though. I think PR69CAM is the best you can hope for and it's likely to be plain PR68 imo. No way I'd consider submitting it. It is a super nice coin though. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
