Can someone identify if this is a dcam?

This penny appears to be a dcam or proof but I'm not sure. Any seasoned vets wanna weigh in? Also what's it possibly worth? https://photos.app.goo.gl/mQ3PwzSmk4badpFJ7

    Why would you ever think that coin was a proof, let alone a DCAM? It is an ordinary 1968-S cent that looks to be in AU condition. It's value is one cent.

    Not a CAM. Not a proof. The Cent was minted at the San Francisco Mint and is a regular circulation coin.

    Not rare and worth probably less than a Dollar to a collector (if that).

    If you're serious about this stuff, it's time to educate yourself.

    Study up on the minting process, get the Redbook of US coins, knowledge is the key.

    Can they? Sure. But they'd be absolutely awful at grading if they did.

    a PROOF will have squared rims, this example is a business strike. There were 258,000,000+ minted and in uncirculated condition might be worth a dime. Clad dime. Here is a proof 1968-s coin:

    Not a proof nor a cam or dcam. Just a business strike.

    Yes, just a business strike, not a CAM.... worn and some PMD. Cheers, RickO
