I was looking through eBay on an SMS search and came across an R & I "Special" so i blew my coin allowance through the end of the year!!! i really don't think anyone can go wrong with 1965-67 DCAM's.
this is my first, and not from a lack of trying. i always get beat at the buzzer or just haven't had the cash or the guts to spend it. i once hesitated on a 1965 kennedy PCGS MS64DCAM and when i decided to move it was too late. not this time!!!

    Dazzler Al - you're right - those high end 65-67's are tough - I've been looking for good circulation strike Kennedy's from those years and when you find them, you better pull the trigger because they'll be gone in no time.

    Keets - Glad you didn't have to pay any more than that for it. It's been on their website for $450 for a little while now.......... in fact you can go to their website right now and still buy it for $450! image Hmmmm........ this could be kinda fun couldn't it........... hmmmmm........ image

    i used to get the R & I newsletter and visit the website but i haven't been there for a while. how long was it listed online? i find it hard to believe it wasn't purchased. i'll go take a look-see.

    Wow! Look how deep the fields are on that 1965. The 1965 planchets were the poorest prepared out of all the SMS coins, it is a real surprise to see one so heavily contrasted. The Jefferson's are especially tough in DCAM. Good job keets!!!

    A 1965 DCAM is a pretty cool thing to have.

    And that's a solid piece. Congratulations!! image

    Wow! I wasn't much impressed by the description, but the coin is among
    the best I've seen. Incredible cameo!

    I've been thinking about that one. Oh, well, I'm very glad someone I know bought it!

    Only 10 Jeffersons have ever been made in DCAM for 1965. And, that one is recently graded which means it is likely a better coin than some of the others that have made the designation. Nice acquisition!

    Congratulations, Keets! That is a coin with terrific contrast. image
