    Nice coin, but the obverse contrast breaks keep the coin technically from the DCAM grade IMHO. Wonderful CAMEO though. Wondercoin

    wondercoin, do I take that you have actually seen this coin in person. It seems by your last comments that would be the case. Just curious.

    I have seen the coin, and it is truly a sight to behold. I had previously thought that no pre-50 coinage would grade DCAM, same with sms Lincolns, but there are a rare few out there, can't imagine there is any more out there. Congratulations on your find!

    Doesn't PCGS make a slight allowance for a frost break when the coin is this outragious? To place this in a CAM holder would be a crime (even though it may a merit or two leaning toward CAM, it's the totality of the coin).

    "Doesn't PCGS make a slight allowance for a frost break when the coin is this outragious"

    Pat: You are likely correct (until it is explained to you why your submission coin didn't make DCAM because of the same frost breaks when it comes back CAM - ever happen to you!!) and if Morris has seen the coin and gives it the "thumbs up", the coin must be super in person.

    And, I can live with "slight allowances" on neat coins like this one. It becomes interesting though on just where you draw the line. Like in the Lincoln proof series for example, I believe PCGS does not consider the reverse of a Wheat cent whatsoever in deciding if the coin qualifies for DCAM. Again, a line was drawn there as well.

    Assuming I'm reading the title correctly, doesn't merz (or somebody) have a 1937 cent that got the DCAM designation?? image
