Nah, but the poor schmuck who submitted it in a crappy flip should.

The coin, once out of its current coffin, will have "Big Po" as in big potential.

My prediction of the post dip regrade result is: MS 67 CAM.

If under the haze the mirrors are to die for, then I would not even rule out a DCAM designation.

Nice pick up Russ. Good luck.

So whats the plan on this,

Dip and re-submit? What are the chance of 66 or 67?

No chance of DCAM. The obverse devices are too silvery. Could be a nice cameo, though. It was cheap enough that if it doesn't work, it's okay.

Wow I just looked at the price guide, looks like it would be worth the effort to find out on this one.

Surprisingly, in the case of 1965 and 1966 DCAM SMS Kennedys, the price guide is pretty close. But, there's a reason those values are so high. The coins are just flat rare. I have never made a 1965 or 1966 in DCAM, while I have made several 1967's in DCAM.

Can someone please provide the prices in the guide for reference? I want to see the potential Obscene Profit(TM) to be made.

What kind of dip are you guys talking about, and after that isn't it considered, "Cleaned"? If not, how does one go about doing it? I have some really hazy Frankies that could use some shining.

Looks nice. Is the haze really the only thing keeping it from a higher grade, though? If once dipped, it grades 65CAM, it will be a coin that retails for $65 according to the PCGS guide. It will have cost $12 + $8 juice + up to $4 postage from Teletrade + $14 for grading + postage on regrade = at least $36, which is about break-even. What does a 65CAM sell for in the Real World™?

If it only grades 65CAM after a dip, I won't submit it. I'll sell it raw for about $20 and be out four bucks.

Russ uses his de-hazing machine to take care of those!!!

And if he swallows the coin, he becomes his toning machine.

Do we get to see the "after" picture?

Will do.

However he does it, I believe Russ can make that coin nice again. After all, he's an old pro at this.

Oh Russ, you hurt me. I'm ok with the dipping, its the having to look at a Kennedy that hurts me.
