My first Cameo shot- How do you think it will grade?

eyoung429 · February 16, 2005 10:29PM

Please let me know what the general observation of this 1977 Proof Quarter would be.....I haven't tried my hand at Cams but after viewing all from Marty and Russ, I am going to give it a try!!!! Note: Photo has only been altered to fit the 50kb or less rule, no cleaning or altering of the angle to get a "better pic"

Looks at least PR68 DCAM to me, maybe even better.

Definately a CAM, but could be a DCAM. I can't quite tell the thickness of the frost on GW's neck and LIBERTY. The frost looks a little thin on the eagles wings as well. Those mid-70's come really thick and creamy!

Cameo and, frankly, not all that good for the 1977.

I agree Russ, but I was second guessing myself.

You should ask Eagle7 here on the boards to post a pic of his quarter from this era.

I think the reverse is short of DCAM. JMHO. I will try to post my 1960 tomorrow.

Now that is a DEEEEP Cameo.

That 60 is hella sweet!!!!!

One of the things that everyone may want to look at is the date on my coin.......it is not in a holder so there is no reflection of plastic.

okay... caveat this with... I dont collect quarters... but, wouldn't there be a ton of the 77's already in PCGS grades? Why would you want to risk a possible marginal coin with PCGS if you can buy one for less than $20 ( a # off the top of my head) pre-made? My point here is... if it costs $14 for the grading, a few bucks for the shipping back and forth, two months waiting, etc... wouldn't it be easier and less stress just to buy one pre-made as 69DCAM? Marty and Russ... what would a 77 69DCAM cost on the Bay of E?

I love that 60. If I found it raw I would probably have it holdered just to keep. It's not all about just getting the grade on the holder.

I recommend you save the trouble and buy one already slabbed. A quick e-bay search shows a 77 69DCAM closed at $7.50 plus $3 shipping. Hard to beat when grading is $14, plus shipping, plus you may not score 69DCAM.

I agree whats special about a 77 DCAM quarter, you can find one of that quality raw in a proof set?, or buy one where somebody else already paid the grading fee for little of nothing.

No on the other hand the 60 DCAM quarter is sharp!!(even for a non modern guy)
