Proof Morgans----Cameo or Deep Cameo

Proof

If you had your choice between a Pr 67 cameo and a Pr 66 deep cameo morgan, ( same year ), which would you rather have ???
As far as pops at PCGS, the 67 cameo would be pop 1, with one finer.
The 66 deep cameo would be pop 1, with 0 finer. Both are exceptional, no problem coins, but as far as value, which do you think is more valueable ?
Personally, I view both coins as equally eye appealing, but am wondering if these two coins are of similar value.

Im guessing the DCAM would be the more valuable

Which ever coin looks better and has the most eye appeal regardless of the grade on the slab.

As has been stated, not all cam's and DCam's are created equal. Must see coins.

if i viewed both coins and i thought both coins where of ''michael'' quality

hands down i would choose the proof66 deep cameo even if there where 10 graded with 25 higher

the key would be that i liked both coins and agreed with the grades and they both where of exceptional eye appeal and the deep cameo was truly as stated if not stellar deep cameo and if dipped was monster blast white with non hazy clear non cloudy non spotted mirrors or fantastically originally toned and still deep cameo in my minds eye hence "michael" quality

but rarely if ever do you find pre 1916 silver deep/ultra cameo proof coins as per the above

hands down the deep cameo would be worth more if it was as per my above post

Many of the "Deep Cameo" coins are bringing very large premiums, solely due to the designation. However, not all "Deep Cameo's" were created equally, and not all of them necessarily deserve that often-subjective designation.

I also believe that the premiums for "Deep Cameo's" will decrease over time, as more coins are resubmitted and receive that designation.

Absent exceptional circumstances, I believe that a PR67 "Cameo" should be worth more than a "PR66 Deep Cameo", though I have seen examples of the latter bring more than the former.

dcam no question

Both coins are graded correctly. I agree with Michael and Mark.
Michael says the DCAM is worth more.
Mark says the 67 Cameo should be worth more.
I guess some people presently are valueing the Dcam example as more valueable, but since the 67 Cameo is a higher grade designation, and since there is not that much difference in a DCam versus a Cameo, ( I have a hard time telling sometimes ), I would think that the higher grade would be the most valueable coin.

I just did some auction achives and was surprised, that in general, a 66 DCAM and a 67 Cameo are pretty close in price and that 'generally' the 67 Cameo is slightly more valueable.

I am only using Morgan Proofs as examples.

I would expect the 66 DCAM to have better eye appeal, more Registry points than a 67 CAM, and thus a higher price.

<< Which ever coin looks better and has the most eye appeal regardless of the grade on the slab. >>

I agree with Cameron's above quote.

However, as a more direct answer to the question I would typically purchase the lower grade coin with the stronger eye appeal. I am assuming that in this hypothetical case the PR-66 Deep Cameo Morgan Dollar would be more striking with more eye appeal than the PR-67 Cameo, at equal or perhaps a lower price. If these were the facts, then I'd prefer the PR-66 Deep Cameo Morgan.

So far I only own one Proof Morgan, which is a pretty toned PR-62 CAM, with very strong eye appeal for the grade and the cost:

Sweet Morgan, Stuart.

Thanks Rick!!

It would depend on exactly how they look... I'd guess I'd go for the DCAM because I like the contrast, but that's a guess... the CAM could be a real showstopper.

DCAM, make sure the mirrors look black...like this.

In general being a cameo collector I would always take the dcam coin (if both nice). You can look at what happened to 50-70 proof coins and the dcams are worth more. DCAMs are generally much more elusive than a cameo with a higher grade. A big problem with the dcams are that they are hazed and toned, etc. Two dcams are definitely not the same.
