I could not sell this DCAM Proof 67 for $125 on ebay last week. I had two watchers but no bids when the auction ended on Friday evening.

Are these decent photos?

Should I have it slabbed to guarantee the grade?

The photos look good but I have also seen CAMs photographed so they look like that. Proofs are such a pain to judge from photos alone. Big difference in value between a CAM and DCAM, about $75-100, that is probably what killed the auction for you. I would recommend having it slabbed to extract maximum value out of that coin. Also, how is your feedback and return policy?

I would slab it and put it back on ebay,, I saw the coin but already had a nice 62 proof in my collection. I don't know about others but I always look at certified coins first on ebay as pics tend to lie, lol.

I put it back at a lower price but I have 10 more in that grade and I'm going to send them to NGC. I should probably take that one off ebay and slab it, but I'll wait and see what happens.

It would be great if NGC slabbed some of them PF 68!

Well, it did not sell for $99 with free shipping and I'm kind of glad. Now I can send it off to NGC to get it slabbed with all the others.
