Just back... Thought I would share before it hits the Bay of Eeeeeee! Graded PR69CAM
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

However, I would really, really, really, really, really..................really be impressed if you would find and post a picture of a CAMDCAM Proof Lincoln from the years 1936-1942 and 1950-1959 and/or a CAMDCAM SMS Lincoln from the years 1965-1967 that looks like your 1971.
Maybe i'll be able to 'make one' like yours someday
Congrats' Marty on a nice score !
Now I am really, really, really, really, really.............. impressed. In fact I am so impressed that I started another thread asking for pictures of CAMDCAM Lincolns to toast you and your 1971. No replies yet, but time will tell. If enough forumites get the picture posting bug, we may have a nice virtual collection of CAMDCAM Lincolns by tomorrow, all in your honor.
Have a great weekend.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into it. On the other hand, perhaps this coin needs to go back for review.

Nope, you got it right. The coin is a DCAM, and Marty got bent over.

Send it in for review. Heck, I'll front the $20 just to see if you can get it in a DCAM holder. It'll be educational for all of us.
Sent it back to PCGS figuring I'd at least get it back in a DCAM holder. Came back PR68CAM. Cracked it out and sent it back to NCS asking them to at least try and reduce the spot. Came back with the spot reduced, but still there.
Sent it back to PCGS. This time, it graded PR69CAM.
