Really...Deep Cameo...plain stupid

stephunter

Check out the nice spots also.

Somewhat overgraded coin

DesertRat

LOL....ok even "I" can see that there is soo much wrong with that grading it is almost funny. unless of course you happen to be the buyer of that little <cough> gem then it wouldn't be funny

Wow, I would say that coin does not look too good for a 69 DCAM...... does pci have a presidential review??

coppercoins

Hey, at least they got part of it right....it's a 1965, a cent, and it's SMS. Who cares if it really grades 64?

I knew it had to be PCI judging by the thread title. Whenever I'm searching for old Green PCI slabs, I omit key words in titles in order to filter out the "MS 69 Deep Cameo" crap from my search results.

Just another of the many coins that have PCI what it is - a "third world" slab company - although it is more at "the top of the bottom" than "the bottom of the bottom."

Wow, if thats a MS69 I have a sparklets bottle full of them !!!!

Where's the cameo contrast and or frosting????? I don't see nothing regardless of the other issues this coins has

I don't know. Probably a MS65.
I think I'd break it out and see if an acetone bath would fix that fingerprint before it gets any worse.
The carbon spots are there forever though, unless you get lucky with the acetone.
Glad I didn't buy it.
But then I have a bunch of problem coins myself too.

What cameo? And I'd say this is 64, not 69.

Gotta love those gold labels.

Shamika

Oh my.

Not even PCI would do that. I think it was dipped and submitted to PCI, then the spots appeared. The deep cameo is obviously nonsense, however. The other explanation is that the slab was opened, and another coin was inserted fraudulently.

is that a thumbprint as well ?
you know the motto at PCI "when in doubt,its a CAM"

The seller states that the coin was graded by someone with over 30 years of experience! Makes me wonder if the slab has been opened and another coin inserted.

I sent him an email asking if he had possibly attached the wrong pic ? Explaining that the coin pictured was in no way acceptable as a MS69DCAM.

His response:


<< <i>Hi, I did not grade the coin so I could not tell you how they graded it! I started the bidding at $1 with no reserve and portrayed the coin exactly how it is! Thanks, Greg Prowell >>




Pretty sad that someone who claims 30 years experience would associate themselves with, and sell, such over graded crap.

I started the bidding at $1 with no reserve and portrayed the coin exactly how it is!

I don't think the seller "portrayed" the coin as is- There was no discussion of the numerous problems that the coin obviously has. I know for myself, even if I'm selling a $10 coin, I try to make mention of anything that might be considered a problem.....
