Would either ofthese Kennedy's would go CAM?

I haven't taken any coins from the cello proof sets and made CAM designations yet. Would these Kennedy's go Cam at PCGS? I'm sure Russ would know, but perhaps others can tell me their experiences. I've made the 68-70 Kennedys in 69 DCAM from proof sets at PCGS. I can't tell thru the cello, but I think the cello actually hides some of the mirror finish, does it not? I bought both of these in hopes that they might actually make a cameo at PCGS. I know they are Modern Junk(TM), but could pass them up at $12 each delivered. Thanks in advance. Ray imageimage

    I think that neither would go CAM. They are better than brilliant examples but not quite to CAM.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • If the reverses have comparable frost, it appears they have a shot at CAM, especially the top one.

    Ray,

    The AH is worth sending either way (the top one). image

    BOTH sets are AH Kennedys. That's why I bought them. I have a normal 1964 in 69 DCAM and 4 in 68 DCAM. The only AH I ever submitted came back as 68 but it's only a brilliant coin. I had another that came back as 66 because of the usual milk spotsimage( Ray

    Ray, based only on the pics, the top coin has the best shot. JMO Since both are AH, they're both worth sending.

    I'll try to post pics of the reverse but they don't show up well because of my abilities. I've shot it from 2 slightly different angles. Ray imageimage

    Based on the reverse pics, definately no for the first one and a possible on the second. You should bite the bullet and cut them out of the mylar. Then take closeups and/or scans (if the scans make the coins look like DCAMs then they will grade as CAMs).

    Hey Marty, I sent you the sets so you should get them in the next day or so. Let me know when you get them via PM. Ray

    They look like no CAM's to me.
