Greetings; this is my first post. I'm a novice and I appreciate the wealth of information available to guys like me.

Bought this recently; seller thought it might be DCAM or PF69 UltraCameo, but it was graded PF68 Cameo by NGC.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Rob

    Rob, I think its a very nice half. The devices are more silver than white, and I think the Cam call is correct. Great mirrors.

    I'll agree with across the street, it's a cameo. The top of the shield on the reverse is my key. I don't see any frost on it in the photos.

    The cameo designation is correct.

    Cameo is correct.

    BTW, if that coin were actually a PR68DCAM it would be worth about $7500.

    Thanks for all the input.

    I paid about $280 for it so I figured I couldn't lose even if it wasn't DCAM.

    I hadn't noticed it was AH.

    What is the primary difference between DCAM and CAM for this coin?

    Thanks.

    In the image below, the devices are white. That is the typical Dcam/Ucam presentation. Coins with lighter cameo have silver looking devices.
