Paid Seven dollars for this at a coin store in Phoenix Az.

OMG, very nice! Two sided black and white. How did you capture the image?

LanLord · January 13, 2003 10:18PM

Lucy, you teeze. That is beautiful.

FC57Coins · January 13, 2003 11:22PM

Almost as beautiful as Lanlord's lady

Is it good photography or is the Franklin that frosted?

Lucy,

That is a FANTASTIC pic! Must be a VERY skilled person that shot that coin! A GENIUS with a digital camera!

BTW, here's my '62 Frankie that's in for grading:

Russ and Hepkitty should start a thread on proper coin photography with digital cams.
Particularly with proper lighting and how to eliminate distortion.

Lucy,

They are very very tough now.

No one at FUN had any luck.

Just got back a lot of 50, 51 and 52 proof cameo frnaklins. Thought they would all cross (PF65 Cam - all of them) and none made it. I'm a pretty good graded, and I can't be wrong on all three. My previous cross success has been about 75%.

Good luck with yours.

Listen, the key is also spraying the box you submit the coins in with perfume, and maybe including some unmentioned items... You'll get a DCAM everytime Daddy-o!

As for the DCAMs I made at Long Beach while submitting in person, Once I made eye contact with the graders who were trying to hide, the DCAM's were a given!

<< Listen, the key is also spraying the box you submit the coins in with perfume >>

What about Mennen Speed Stick?

Lucy,

Tell me when you have a batch going in. I'll pay you extra$$$$$

If that's what it takes, no wonder mine didn't make the grade.

I really like those black and white pics of Proofs to look at but you can`t say it best represents the coin in reality.
Half the coin (black fields) is hidden from view.I know we like to see frosty devices and this type of shooting gives you that but you have to assume the fields are deep mirror and pristine.If they weren`t you,d never know it for a piture like that.
Sorry to sound like a bummer here.I just want to show the other side of the coin so to speak.

And to further be a bummer ,I,ll go out on a limb an say both coins are only CAM and not DCAM.
Again I,m sorry but I have to say what I think regardless.I think the pics are really nice but the frosting
may not be there for the DCAM designation.
In closeing I want to say that I hope I,m wrong and both coins get the DCAM.
I,m just feeling skeptical tonite..SORRY!!!!!!!!!

As I pointed out in this thread.

And, as I pointed out in this thread.

So, I'm way ahead of you and it's one of my coins you're talking about.

Ah ha.Touche`.....not pronounced touchy if your a hayseed.

LucyBop · January 14, 2003 1:44PM

I won't rule out that my 62 comes back cam, however, this coin has as much frost as my 56 and 63 DCAM, I may have been lucky on those.. I am at the Mercy of PCGS.... I see this coins as a DCAM. Russ's coin also appears DCAM to me but he has seen his coin in person and I haven't so he has a better idea as to the depth of the mirrors of his coin. From his picture, I feel that enough Frost is there for a DCAM.... His grades should post soon... Then we'll know what PCGs has to say.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle...

1907Quarter · January 14, 2003 9:50PM

but how do you get those deals!?

LucyBop · January 14, 2003 11:15PM

<< but how do you get those deals!? >>

No Dealer would dare overcharge the HepKitty!

Actually, I keep finding GEMS regardless of what city I'm in. I think I have a knack for being at the right place at the right time..
Just lucky? Or maybe it's the Bop in my step?
