Grading results for two of my 2022 submissions have posted.

SanctionII

Proof cents, nickels, dimes and quarters from 1939 through 1964. 69 coins in all.

Mixed results.

Some high grades (65 through 68+) and some low grades (62-64).

17 coins received a CAM designation.

3 coins received DCAM designations.

Many coins I thought should have received a CAM designation did not.

2 coins did not grade and were placed in Genuine holders (Questionable Color and Damage).

Some coins are toned, including some that I thought should have received a CAM designation even with the toning.

A 1950 cent, a 1960 Small Date cent and a 1962 cent have amazing color.

The best results are the 1950 PF66CAM cent, the 1953 PF67CAM cent, the 1957 PF68CAM cent, the 1959 PF67DCAM cent, the 1940 and 1942 Type 1 PF67 nickels, the 5 1950 PF67 nickels, the 1953 PF68 nickel, the 1940 PF67 dime, the 1959 PF68CAM dime, the 1964 PF68+DCAM dime, the 4 1950 PF67 quarters, the 1951 PF66CAM quarter [the "Tumor Variety"] and the 1953 PF67+CAM quarter.

I will have to spend time reviewing the coins when they are returned and comparing the PCGS grades with my own personal grade opinions. I also look forward to see the Trueview photos of these coins.

Still waiting for grade results to post on four other 2022 submissions.

So far 2022 has provided me with lots of hobby fun, including some new purchases, attending coin shows, multiple submissions of coins for grading and building some Registry Sets.

I’m hoping when you do the comparison that overall you’re satisfied. Regardless, use it as a learning opportunity - learning what you did not know, and confirming things you did know.

I also look forward to seeing the Trueviews.
Until then there isn't much to say about the results other than there are some really nice pieces in those submissions.

I’ve read your posts over the years, and it seemed like you had a passion to search for CAM/DCAM proofs in original sets. If only 20/69 of these coins got the CAM & DCAM designations, is this submission highly disappointing? Not sure if you were going for very high grades or the cameo designations on the coins, but I would’ve expected your submission to have at least 50/69 getting CAM or DCAM based on pictures I’ve seen you post in years past.

I have a strange gut feeling grading was tight on this order, but haven’t seen these coins yet.

SanctionII

Trueviews of these coins will be very interesting to see.

Many of the coins that did not receive a Cameo designation have frosted devices, mirrored fields and a Cameo appearance.

I know some may not like this - but I just can't understand why the call them "TrueViews" - how about "Glamor Shots" ?

My understanding is it’s really tough to determine CAM designations from TrueViews. You really need to see the coins in hand to truly appreciate the mirrored fields and sufficiently frosted devices on each side.

@SanctionII 🤔 from the sheer number of admissions …… looks like Christmas in June 🤗
Looking forward to see their pretty pictures.
Thank you for sharing 🥰

ricko

Wow... Huge submission. Looks like some very nice results. You have a discerning eye for coins, so will be interesting to hear your conclusions once the coins are back in hand. Cheers, RickO

Sizeable submissions and some nice results. How long did these take to get through?

SanctionII

ChrisH821.

The two submissions mentioned in this thread were delivered by me to PCGS on 2-17-2022 and 2-18-2022 at the February Long Bach show. Both submissions were logged in as received on 2-25-2022. The grades on these two submissions posted on 6-16-2022 and on 6-17-2022. They still have not been mailed back to me. Hopefully they will put in the mail sometime this week.

Aspie_Rocco

Nice group and grades! Looking forward to seeing those nickels.

SanctionII

Both of these submissions were mailed out by PCGS today. I may have the coins back by Friday.

I do not expect the Trueview photos of the coins to post until August or September.

SanctionII

Received the coins for both submissions in the mail today. Will be looking closely at the coins later tonight (after dark, under good lighting, with a cold one or two).

SanctionII

Tonight was a treat.

Got reacquainted with some of my favorite coins I have picked up over many years, raw, for modest money.

I hit a few home runs, including a 1957 proof cent I cut out of a flat pack proof set. It came back graded PF68CAM.

1madman

Is there any chance the ‘57 pr68cam cent would upgrade to dcam? Price guide is $650 and jumps to a staggering $32,500 for the added designation.
