Got this baby on consignment. Certified PCGS PR66CAM. Probably about as CAM as can be without getting a DCAM. Asking $17K or best offer. Interested? Let me know! Probably the only one that will ever grade as cameo...1939 Jeffersons are one of the tougher pre-1950 proof coins to see any contrast...let alone with the much scarcer reverse of 1940.

Light creamish patina on the reverse around 8 o'clock. Otherwise a super lovely coin.

    I can't say I'm interested in this coin...but I will say that Morris is a great guy to deal with. His inventory is always full of great proof coins! I'm just waiting for his MS lincoln inventory to beef back up image

    Would you take $10 a week until it's paid off with 8% fixed?image

    easy pr67cam with some professional touch up on the lower reverse! Awesome coin!

    Great looking coin, but I suspect that if the coin was a 1950-70 proof or SMS coin or a post 1971 proof coin, it would not be given a CAM designation by PCGS.

    Anyone agree or disagree with my thought on this?

    Great coin.

    I see the coin as a solid PR66 grade level. The cameo on the obverse is all there. The frosting looks a little spotty on the reverse, but the mirrors would play a strong role. Hard to tell on the mirrors from the photo, but the indication is for strong mirrors. I can see a fairly graded cameo rating if the mirrors are strong.

    I don't see a PR67Cam though even with a touch up due to the frosting breaks.

    Just based on coins I have graded at those levels.

    You are all too kind...thank you for the nice compliments. Coin is a solid cameo...no question! Best mirrors I have seen on any pre war proof coin.
