Proof Cameo Grades are In! PCGS a bit tougher than normal

Cameonut · June 23, 2005 9:31AM

Just got notification that my submission is graded. IMO PCGS is only a bit tougher than I thought they would be (but maybe more on the nickels vs the dimes). My predictions are listed last. Overall I am happy with the results.

So here are 14 more data points...

LINE DATE DENOMINATION COUNTRY GRADE
1 1951 5C USA PR65 (PR66CA - oops)
2 1952 5C USA PR67CA (PR67CA - shot dcam)

4 1955 5C USA PR68CA (PR67DCAM - resubmission candidiate)
5 1957 5C USA PR67CA (PR66CA)
6 1958 5C USA PR67 (PR66CA)

9 1952 10C USA PR67 (PR67CA)
10 1953 10C USA PR67CA (PR67CA)
11 1954 10C USA PR68CA (PR67CA-will reside in my Registry Set)

Cameonut, congrats on some fantastic grades on your 14 1950's vintage proof nickels and dimes.

Just curious, where did you acquire the 14 coins from (cherry picking from raw proof sets and singles?), how long did it take you to acquire them (weeks, months or longer)? and were these 14 coins the best of a larger pool of 1950's nickels and dimes that you had acquired?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Nickels and dimes? Where's the halves!?

These are from a group of raw coins that I set aside about 10-12 years ago. At that time I did the same thing you are doing now - find nice pieces and put them in a Capital holder for safekeeping and display. Even back then it was a struggle to find nicely contrasted pieces - it is much harder to find them raw today. Some were cherry picked from proof sets, some were purchased individually. At any rate, I finally got around to slabbing some of them. Are they part of a larger pool? Yes, I guess so, I have alot of raw pieces lying around - one of these days I'll get them organized...

Marty & Lucy - thanks for the kind comments.

Halves will be submitted later this summer if the coin grading budget allows. Don't have as many nice pieces from the '50's but I do have an Accented Hair Kennedy that I think is a lock DCAM.

Cameonut, thanks for the additional info. One of these days I will have to jump in, join a TPG and submit some of the coins I have accumulated over years for gradingslabbing. Let us know the results of future submissions of more of your stash, particularly the halves.
