Of course, it's not the coin I was expecting to go DCAM. image It's a strong example, but I didn't think it was quite there. I was expecting the 1965 to make it.

I've nailed eight 1967 SMS Kennedys in Deep Cameo, but never a 1965 or 1966 until now. The 1966 MS66DCAM in my set was acquired in a trade deal. I did once make a 1966 Jefferson in MS66DCAM.

As noted, I expected DCAM on the 1965, but I also had it graded a point lower at MS65. Looks like it got a contrast bump rather than the designation. I'll do a second chance offer on it. image

On balance, I'm pretty damned happy with this submission even though I still haven't scored a DCAM 1965.

BTW, the 1966 was pulled from a set I picked up on eBay for $14.
