On a Seated Liberty coin, what is more attactive to you....PR64DCAM, PR65CAM, or PR66?

With toning being classic Wayte Raymond bullseye on each one. I'd take the middle coin, a nice balance of relatively hairline free, cool toning, and a little frost. You?

    Screw the toning, I'd rather have one with bright fields and a frosted surface! With the age that would be difficult!image

    I'd have to see them- it really depends on why the coin was a 64, 65, or 66... I do like the frost, though.

    Seth, it really depends on the quality of each specific coin in its grade range and classification.

    There are times that a lower grade is more appealing

    then the higher grade. A just made DC may

    not be any better then a PQ cameo. All that being said, I would try for a PR 65 Cameo if it was

    truly a quality coin. The price is lower and the quality and or Cameo, may be almost as good as the PR-66

    or the PR-64 DC.

    As a note, I have a number of MS-64 PQ Turbin Head Bust Halves, that are more lustrous, with

    beautiful light origonal toning, then most MS-65 dark specimens that I see all the time. Bear

    I might like the DCAM. I have a 64 Cam Trade Dollar I like pretty much. There is a big hairline that makes it a 64. I can easily live with it as the rest is very nice. I would like it even more if it were DCAM image

    Cameos are nice, but I think that they are overated. Give me the PR-66 any day.

    I would have to say DCAM. DCAM's with great toning are unbelielably hard to find. They just wont grade them often with toning.

    I have been trying to get this coin in DCAM holder for ages. No reason why it isnt except that it is beautifully toned. The mirrors are super hard, the frost is thick. I think that they wont DCAM it either because if would be pop 1 if they did.

    Could care less about DCAM or Cameo coins. If it's within 5-10% of the regular price, fine. Bit I prefer a lack of hairlines with nice original color and clear mirrors. This Cameo thing is just another invention to boost yet another area well beyond reason. Yeah, I'll take the 66 assuming all else equal. Then again......give me a gem mint state coin any day.....they didn't save those back then and in the case of most better dates they are far rarer than their proof counterparts.

    IF they were graded then i would buy the 65 and send it in for regrade until i got the grade i wantedimage

    Really i would get the 64DCAM because nothing looks better than thick frost and deep mirrors. I personally can't tell the difference between 1 point (even the pro's have trouble getting the same grade each time)
