New To Collecting And Overwhelmed

I didnt see the picture, I can tell you all of those slabs are generic grading company slabs and the coin in thos slabs that are graded MS-70 or PF-70 may at best be a MS-65 or PF-65 at a REAL Third Party Grading Company. I am so sorry you didnt ask questions on this forum before buying all that generic stuff because we could have saved you some money and heartache

Hi stowell5005

The term proof refers to the process used to make the coin. Specially prepared dies and polished planchets are used. (A planchet is just a term for the metal disc from which the coin is struck. Proof coins are usually struck at higher pressure and slower speed than business strike coins. This results in coins that have a deeper, more defined image than normal.

Cameo refers to the contrast between various parts of the coin. Almost all modern proof coins have a frosted image and lettering and a mirror-like field. The process makes the coin look like a cameo brooch, so they're refered to as "cameo".

"Deep cameo" (DCAM) just means an even stronger contrast.

There's no need to feel dumb, every collector starts at the beginning and works from there. With all the coins available it can be overwhelming though, take your time and enjoy yourself as you learn.

You'll find that most coin collectors enjoy sharing their hobby, so don't be afraid to ask questions. The only "stupid" question is the one that you don't ask. Hope this helps

Welcome!
How much did you pay for the lot of coins? LIke it has been said before, I would only trust the PCGS slab to be real. Can you post pics of the coins so that forum members can give you a better idea of what grade the coins actually are in?
