Here are the results for the 1892 proof set. Incredible set.

Morgan - Proof 68DCAM
Half - Proof 67DCAM
Quarter - Proof 67DCAM
Dime -Proof 68 CAM
Nickel - Proof 66 CAM
Cent - Proof 66 RD

This is the set I recently purchased from Bob Greenstein at Harlan Berk in Chicago. As the story goes, Harlan Berk originally bought this set in 1993 from a Chicago family who had it in their possession since the Coumbian Expo in 1892. Harlan Bern sold it to a Chicago collector that year and bought the set back from that collector earlier this year. I bought the set this spring. The eye appeal was so incredible, I couldn't pass. Thought all you set registry guys would enjoy seeing the set.

    Wow...I believe this is the set I saw at Long Beach a week ago in a dealers case.....pics are nice but don't do justice to the coins themselves. I recall a few of the coins were also upgraded at the show.......................

    Really cool!

    The entire set was recently resubmitted... couple of upgrades as a result. In my opinion, a couple are still stronger than the listed grade. The eye appeal is unmatched... never seen better.

    The 92 Morgan is the Only DCAM ever graded
    The half is the highest ( POP1) ever graded out of 5 total
    The quater is a POP 3/1
    The dime is a POP1 with only a single coin ever going DCAM
    The Nick is POP 6/0
    And the Indina cent is a POP 13/2

    Wow what a set!

    Clackamas,

    You're right on all accounts in the pop report except the dime... it is listed as a CAM, not a DCAM... but it should be a DCAM... I believe the toning has made the DCAM designation harder. Should I dip it? (Just kidding!!!)
