And, from the "something I've never seen before" department comes this freshly graded ANAC

1964 proof Kennedy graded PR69DCAM!

In all the searching I've done I've never seen a 1964 graded PR69DCAM by ANACS. In fact, I don't ever remember seeing a 68DCAM (Heavy Cam in the old days). I've seen a handful of 67's, but that's it.

Hey Ferengi- does it pass the test as a 69dcam?

A coin grade Heavy CAM by ANACS back in the day would be considered a "Moose". This coin in the new ANACS holder is no "Moose" and doesn't look 69 or DCAM to me? Could be the pic? It's a shame.

I'm no expert, but it looks like it needs a bit of help.

If the images are an accurate reflection of the degree of contrast, no. But, it looks like it was done on a scanner, and they don't always capture contrast that well.

Yep, they were the toughest; even tougher than PCGS.

So what's up with all the junk in the fields? Attributed to the scan?

I'm not seeing junk in the fields. A couple of ticks that might be on the slab. There is reflection off the mirrors on the lower obverse periphery that looks like haze, but isn't. And, the reverse has some mint frost in the mirrors, but this is not abnormal.

Thanks, Russ.

Here's a pic of an old ANACS holder 1963 Roosie, graded PF68 Heavy CAM. I bought it cheap (from the Cheap Slab Store, of course) simply because I'd never seen an early proof in that grade in an ANACS holder. Last time I looked this coin was a pop 3/0 in ANACS reports.

What's even more interesting is that they now call it DCAM instead of Heavy cameo.

This might not go over real well.........
