4 21922110 1967 50C SMS USA MS67
Thanks Russ, Bought "Raw"

Russ's description of the coin: Nice cameo coin with excellent surfaces. Looks every bit an MS67CAM, but if you tilt it at the correct angle under the light some hairlines emerge on the bottom portion of the bust. I think this limits the grade to MS66CAM.

We all know PCGS is tough on the CAM Designation

Nice coins. Great color on that Washington.

Rampage

Very nice coins and great color on the Washington. Of course, I know nothing about grading Washies, but I see several marks on the first image which may have limited it to a 64.

Can you shed some light on what you expected to get on that one? Can you show a picture comparison of a 64 vs a 65?

Trying to learn....

The problem I see with the 67 SMS is that the fields are not there. PCGS wants deep fields even on SMS coins. That one looks like the field is

for the lack of another word. BTW, I'll give you $20 for it!

I was concerned about the Washington getting a BB. So 64 is ok, for now. I agree has some hit's in primary areas. Maybe send in for a regrade later? Seller thought it would go 66. The Lincoln is way better than a 66 but I wasn't expecting a CAM designation Rampage wish I could help you on your request but I don't have an example to show you. There are plenty of other Forum Members who can though!!! Thanks Marty, but I'm holding out for $21 Lee
