I did something crazy last night. Bid on and won an auction for: Small Cent 2009S Proof Lincoln-Early Childhood PCGS 70 DCAM RD.
I figure anything related to Lincoln is very collectible over time and PCGS is pretty stingy about those 70 DCAM certs.
To protect my marriage I won't say how much I paid :)

Please tell us, she'll get over it...maybe...over time...and a really nice dinner.
Oh, and Jnesbitt92, why are we called Darksiders for collecting modern stuff?

C note :)  Just hope the population does not grow any bigger so that your Lincoln appreciates at a nice steady pace. |

No offense meant......but I think I'd rather have an EF40 '31 S Wheatie, over a perfect '2009 Log Cabin ! The "$100.00" could've been put to MANY good uses ! ....  Having said that though, I'm a "Ultra-Modern" collector too......and I'm envious of your purchase nonetheless ! .....  Some pics ? ......  |

I was under the impression that "darkside" referred to world coins?

Basically, yes.
Dark side coins are from a country other than your own.
Gray side coins are from neighbouring countries, especially if they tend to co-circulate; as Canadian coins often do in the US.

LoL, so Greyside for Canada can be considered Barbados? I get way too many of their coins in my rolls.

Nice coin, don't care what anyone says!
Thanks JBuck, I always thought that "Darksiders" were Old World coins. I just thought someone reclassified the term again. Did not know about the Greysiders though. I'd have loved to have been at that meeting of Numismatists fighting over naming of the two terms. So Not!

For these modern issues, PCGS seems to have gotten it right. All of their 69's and 70's have blazing eye appeal and are flawless. My opinion: An NGC 70 may be mark free but they often fall short on eye appeal and strike. Some of the NGC 69's are downright awful.
