  • Those '50s PR 68s are cheap. They are low pop with only one coin in cameo higher for all those dates you mention put together. There are very few DCAM coins in any grade for any of those dates. They are perfectly suitable for a top 10 registry set. I wasn't home to put in a snipe so didn't get any image

    The '55 in 67 DCAM went for $340. That was the coin I bought sight unseen for over $500. I saw it and returned it in less than 10 seconds. That one looked like an artificial frosting job gone bad, not that I really know what an AF job gone bad looks like.

    hey randy

    the 1956 and 1958 dates are certainly ones to watch. 68CAM is essentially highest graded since there are only a few of either date designated DCAM. and that has nothing really to do with the grading services, the coins just aren't there. R&I has been running some for the last several months, little contrast, and they continue to relist them since they go unsold.

    i think it's unusual that the early 50's dates should be more abundant given the packaging from the mint for those years and the lower mintages. what was the contrast/frost like on the coins you listed above?

    Al:

    I personally thought the cameos on those coins -- except for the solid DCAM 61 -- were a bit light for my liking, although TT does not always have the best photography. You can never tell -- I've been blown away by what looked like a light CAM on a photo only to receive a very solid coin and bought (and returned) what looked like a solid CAM only to have a barely made it coin. You and Carl are correct that there some good buys in that lot .. I kind of liked the price on the 1952, myself! image
  • that's really a nice price on the '52. Hope the coin warrants the grade---you can never tell with Teletrade photography. I had my eye on a couple of those (including the '52), but due to too much to do at work and too much traffic on the way home, I didn't get home until 7:05---5 minutes after the auction closed.

    Congrats on your buy!!
