Maybe paint it, you know it works, they won't look back there anyway, you know, just like selling a home in the Northwest

Russ, a question for you.

Does the bust have to be frosted in order to go dcam? I just sent a 71-s in today and the mirrors are deep, but the bust isn't frosted like you see in silver issues. Can it still go dcam?

Gemini,

All the devices need to be frosted in order to go CAM/DCAM. At least I am pretty sure that is the way it is.

It needs to look like what you see above, both on the obverse and the reverse.

Now get the same grade/designation half dollar, but in either 1794 or 1795 and you will really get our attention.

I got one that is cam on both sides. Is it worth anything??

Unless it grades PR69, not really.

Russ, I just posted a little while ago about a 1971 proof set I picked up today because of the half. I searched a little on prior posts and yours about the one sided 1971 DCAM half you pictured came up. Just what I needed to compare mine to.

Today's pick up looks just like your pictured coin on the obverse. However, the reverse is not brilliant. It has very nice mirrors and has frosted devices, however the reverse frost is not as intense as the obverse frost. Another thing I noticed on the reverse is a large gouge/trench in the upper let portion of the shield. It looks like the coin was struck that way by a defective die as opposed to a post striking mark.

By far and away the best 1971 half I have ever found in original mint packaging.

PR-67, outside shot at 68?

I've only found a few. They're tough.
