Proof Jeff Collectors: A couple of interesting ticks upward on two moderns

RGL

In the last two and one-half weeks, note the population additions on these two Jeffs:

1972-S PR-69 DCAM: An increase of two to 20.
1974-S PR-69 DCAM: An increase of eight to 62.

Other modern 69 pops stable during this period, with one more 1975 PR-69 DCAM to bring pop to 53.

More nice raws flowing in or PR-68 regrades submitted in light of PCGS' loosening on moderns and homerunhall's stated "goal"?

As one of the proud owners of one of these 20, I'm watching this pop closely.

Thanks for the info. I checked out a few raw proof Jeffs at the San Jose coin show recently. I did buy a '74-S. Once I got it home and out of its 2 x 2 I am not sure if it would go 69 DCAM... One thing I know is I didn't see one raw '71 or earlier that was anywhere near Cameo, not to even mention DCAM.

.........and in the meantime i'm waiting impatiently for some grades to post. one 1971, two 1973's and another 1975 along with some other earlier dates. i think rising prices have sparked an interest.

i think it's a bit ironic that there should be an influx of collectors/submitters in any series as a result of prices realized. the twist being that collector/submitter MR. X sees such-and-such a date selling strong and submits hoping to find the pot of gold while increasing the grade pop to a stagnant amount of collectors which should result in a lowering or constant price. such is the state of the hobby with high grades and higher dollars at stake.

it seems a much better formula for a collector to be drawn to a series for reasons other than money. maybe that's what's going on with all the Jefferson series interest as of late but i think not. it'll all work out well in the wash. my prediction is that when our little price run-up cools, many dates will become available when uninterested parties sell. not just this series but all series. how long of a wait is the only unanswered question.

Just more of the current PCGS "lack of grading standard" This is so sad - that a well known and trusted company plays these games with their consumers! I wish they would figure out what the hell they are doing - get consistant......... and then stay consistant. I am losing all respect for this company and there current "evolving" grading standards/practices. I can understand and tolerate a difference of grading standards between grading companies but not this!
