My modern darling .......

PCGS PR68CAM. Population 2 at PCGS (in this particular grade). I purchased the coin about 3 years ago because I loved the toning. I haven't seen the other PR68CAM but I'm sure it's not as nice as this one! As is, I was thinking about re-submitting the coin to PCGS for a free re-holder as it was put in the holder crooked! As this is a rare occurrence with PCGS coins, I'm wondering if I should keep it in the holder "crooked" as a "rare PCGS occurrence" ......... I'm gonna eventually re-submit it as the coin sitting crooked kind of kills the overall eye appeal! What do you think?

    Cool Roosie....I would just keep the holder as is.
    Stuff like that doesn't really bother me.

    The cost of the re-holder submission exceeds the value of the coin. I would leave it.

    The re-holdering is free as the error is the fault of PCGS. They will send me a free shipping label to have it re-holdered as they don't want "mistakes" in their holders.

    Says who? PCGS doesn't offer a free re-holder for a coin that rotated in the gasket. Also the coin is not top pop (not that it would matter).

    I contacted PCGS and they said they would re-holder it for free. I also question the pop ..... Check the listing..... cert #34356886

    Thanks for the ACTUAL Pop report! As stated I questioned the pop on this as I clearly remember that there were many finer examples! For some reason the set registry app is showing only 2 !!! What gives ????

    I could see why you might think this. I doubled checked and saw a bunch of 70’s on EBay

    Your coin is nice looking

    Ok ....... I figured it out! There are only 2 examples "in this particular grade" so technically it would be "top Pop" for this grade, not the overall series!

    Yes 2 in 68 and 5638 higher

    It would read like this

    Pop 2/5638

    Yup ..... I think the CAMEO designation is why they list it as 2/0 in the app. Thanks for your help ..... Greatly appreciated!

    In around 98% of the cases, I can fix all crooked PCGS coins without the need for PCGS assistance. Just hold the coin slab UP vertically and tap it on the table until the coin inside sets up nicely. The gasket rotates as the coin is properly tapped. Over time, one learns to master the proper force necessary to accomplish this easy task. Good luck. Wondercoin

    @Justacommeman posted the pops for DCAM. You said yours is CAM, which is much rarer for most moderns. I assume that explains the difference, but haven't verified it.
