And while the rest of the Jefferson world sleeps at the switch i snag a lowly graded DCAM for a bargain price!!! I guess in the Registry Set game it's only a PR68 equivalent, right??

i was nearly deflected!!!!!! i'm still on a phone modem and things were loading slow-------i refreshed at 1 min. 2 sec. and the bid wasn't posted until 18 seconds remained. i've lost more than a few auctions because of that but i'm trying to upgrade my PC. i looked at a really sweet HP this afternoon that was loaded. here's the funny part------it has a 200 gig harddrive and i'm currently on an old Aptiva with eight gig total and five available.
is that overkill or what??? i know i need more room and can fill plenty, but 200 gig?? WOWZER!!!!

1) i'm still on a phone modem and things were loading slow.
2) has a 200 gig harddrive]
3) that overkill or what???
Answers to above
1) Get cable internet, loading times won't be so slow
2) Unless you downloading movies you don't need this much HD space.
3) yes by about 120 gig, what ya want is about 2+ gig of ram, a killer video card(Nvidia makes killer cards, like the Geforce 6200), and about a 3.0 + ghz Processor.
PURPLE!
The DCAM earns 2 bonus points of Registry value, making it "worth" the same as a garden variety PR68... which sells for what, about $35?
But that's just me.
It looks like yours has a ring of nice blue tone to it!

i think that Jeffersons in NGC holders with grades of PR68CAM and higher can be good values if you're patient. they may not always cross to same grade PCGS holders but the prices are usually low. i've had several and still have a few stashed somewhere!!!
............and Dennis, we've sparred over our very different preferences with regard to Jeff grades before, haven't we??!!!!?? from my lofty perch, a Proof Jefferson Set---Registry or otherwise---is, at it's heart, all about Cameo Coins. my comment about the 66DCAM=68NOCAM was tongue-in-cheek. i'd take the DCAM all day long. even my "brilliant" coins have noticeable contrast or some degree of tone which sets them apart from what my eyes see as generic.

And our different preferences is what makes collecting so much fun, yes? Besides, each of us not wanting what the other guy wants means we aren't competing for the same jewels!
still a bargain.

Jet900 is a great seller. The coins are always much nicer than the pics.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
the mirrors are probably the coin's strong point and there are no frost breaks or fades. it compares favorably with the DCAM's from the 1968-1974 time period.

later dates soon...
