1957 PR67 CAM Lincoln To PCGS For Regrade; **Regrade Completed**

LeeG

Decided to get off my Butt and get this coin to PCGS for regrade. Sending it tommorrow USPS Express under 5 day Express Special w/Truview. Care to guess the results. I'll post the results here when received.

Still a PR67 CAM
Phil took an "Awesome" pic! I think a weak reverse kept it out of a DCAM holder.

Lee,

Are you looking for DCAM? If so, why not try Designation Review instead of Express? It's only $10.

Greg it's guaranteed not to grade less than the current grade of 67 when sent in as a Regrade. I appreciate your thoughts on the upgrade to DCAM



<< <i>Same Grade >>


Marty I agree. I think the spots on the Reverse limits the grade upgrade but I'm hoping for DCAM?

Russ what's the turnaround time for the Designation review?

They say approximately 10 days. Mine was 21 days, and cameonut just had one that was 15 days.

If you're looking for an upgrade, don't waste your money. If you're hoping for DCAM, do as Russ said (especially 'cause it's so cheap). At least that way you'll keep the OGH if it doesn't DCAM - you'll lose it in regrade.

Don't know which pic is real but judging by the 1st & last it has no shot at DCAM. If the 2nd pic (i.e. top right) is really what it looks like I'd throw the $10 at it.

67DCAM, and I disagree that Designation Review is a better option.

I think your odds of getting the DCAM are considerably greater on a regrade... you done the right thing..

...and good luck!!

Why?

In my Designation Review experience (which is mostly limited to going for FBL's), I have never

gotten a FBL on a blue tag Frankie sent for DR. The same blue tags then cracked out and sent for

regrade, got the FBL probably 80% of the time.

This led me to beleive that the graders doing DR don't really give the blues a fair shake. The numbers

are too large for this to be coincidence.

The two that were just upgraded for me were both recently graded blue label. Cameonut also just had success with a recent blue label. I'm just thinking that for $10 instead of $50 it's worth a shot to try it that way first.

I've had decent luck with desig. review. Last "win" was a 1953 PR66RD Lincoln I got on Teltrade for about $75 that looked cam so I sent it to them & they put it in a 66CAM holder. I eventually sold it on eBay for about $450.

bushmaster8

Well, maybe things have changed then. Maybe for $10 they "look harder" than they did for $5.

Heck, maybe "It's a New Day at PCGS" as well!

I have asked this in another thread, but got zero responses, so I'll query (not that there's anything wrong with that!) again:

Has anyone ever gotten a blue tag non-FBL Franklin to go FBL on a designation review??

LeeG

for regrade info.

bushmaster8

Well it was well worth a try!

...........do not argue with Russ

Bushmonster - i can get any grade/ any designation i want -on any submission tier :

i just submit it over and over , month after month; year after year -decade after decade..........

sure,,,,,,,,,,,,it might cost thousands - but i end up with the plastic I want !

Cameonut

Bummer - just goes to show how hard dcam examples are for this date. Or how tight PCGS is at the moment.
Still a premium piece for the date, no matter what plastic is protecting it.
