Need help - 1965 SMS Jeff, cam designation.

DHeath

Have any of you guys seen many of these coins? I found a nice 1965 today, and I'm not familiar with how much mirror the fields must have to get cam/dcam designation. This coin looks solid cam to me, and the shadow on Monticello is not a frost break, but just a shadow. The devices are very frosty, but I'm used to looking at Kennedys, and the nickels have a soften satin look. How does this one stack up?

No cam expert here but that does not look cam to me but it could just be the picture.

I'd try to help you, but I'm stinging from being out-bid in some auction.

Actually, it looks like a CAM candidate to me. I think, because 1965 was so tough, the mirrors don't have to be as strong as the '66 and '67. At least that's what I've seen in the JFK's.

Russ, I did feel remorse, but then I looked at the pics again and it went away. I believe it's an obvious misgrade, and probably needs to be conserved. I'm sure one of us will get it, so before it's over, I'll know it's true grade. The seller looks like a competent photographer.

That one of us will likely be you. It's already far exceeded the price I had in mind. Let me know what it's like when you get it.
