    Oh yeah, people do it. Usually only when they think it's worth it. Early 70s dcams can be good for a couple of coins like the 71 half. Others aren't worth worrying about.

    actually i just picked up a 71 proof set a few weeks ago on fleabay, but looking at it closer, it would probably only get a PR68 CAM...ill click a pic of it for a little reference image


    Edit:

    heres the pic's, think its worth cracking it out?
    pic 1
    pic 2

    most of the scratches are on the plastic, but it does have a few dings on the cheek bone, and a few on the shield on the reverse.

    No!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I think what Marty was trying to say is.....if your reverse pic is accurate the coin will not go cam....not worth sending in.
