Rarity of 1969-S kennedy proof DCAM - PF69

Roadman

How rare is this coin with mega frost ? What should one pay for one with the highest level of cameo frost in this grade ? What about 70-S ?

As I've learned recently, the 70's carries a mark-up over the 69-S.

Rick Tomaska had a 70-S with "10" level frost for 1K on his pricelist awhile back.
That's not typical pricing but apparently $450-$550.00 is.

The 69-S is about half of that or less.

You mean one like this?



For "mega" frost, the 1969-S is your best bet of the 40% silver issues, but - depending on how you define "mega" - even it isn't all that common. A normal PR69DCAM is about a $200 coin, and can frequently be had for even less. But, there's an enormous variance in degree of contrast within that grade.

He still does, and he's asking $1550. He actually sold it once on eBay for $1250, but it was either returned or the buyer didn't pay up. It's certainly worth a substantial premium to normal market, but he's way out in left field with his asking price.

How rare?

I've made three in PCGS holders.

In PCGS PR69DCAM the Population is 431 with one coin higher.
The 1970-S in PR69DCAM has a population of 197 with none better.
Two for one and the prices are about that same difference.

Not mega frost examples, you haven't.

But I have yet to see Mega Frost on any of the PCGS inserts. And I for one will note that this post was started by a new member here.
aboard and don't let the sharks lead you to believe that a coin is worth mega money if it has frost. Look at a lot before you commit to buy. Most of the Kennedy proofs are vary common: and only the early dates command any premiun.

Well since we are on this subject of Monster Kennedys... I already have a 1969 PR69DCAM BUT -

Russ, you are the Yoda( or should I say the Quark ) of Kennedy Halves. Your level of knowledge in this series is phenomenal.

LindeDad

Got this from Russ.

SUPERCARCOINS

.............Alrighty then , R. Tomaska is out in left field alright ...........behind the bleachers even .

But he has seen around a million DCAMS by his reckoning and if he say's it's got Cing Cong Kameo then

by jinkie's it MUST be worth over 1500$

BECOKA

I have not been here that long but Russ has amazed me with just about everything on this forum.

I purchased that 1970-S a while back for $1250. The picture of the coin portrayed a very very high end piece; possibly the best I had ever seen.
So if the coin matched the picture I would've kept it. Unfortunately their photographic techniques make the cameo look WAY better than it really is.
So I sent the coin back. At least they're easy to deal with.
