Is the 1977/1978 decision an admission that PCGS have been over grading modern coins?

Just wondering

Why would not giving bonus points for DCAM coins after 1977 be an admission that PCGS overgrades? I don't follow your logic on this one.

I'm a little lost here too. Maybe johnkee can clarify this.

Or, does this mean that those rare non-DCAM modern proofs that Braddick likes so much are going to be more valuable? Braddick, any comments?

I have a very nice 1999-S Jefferson graded PR69 CAM .... based on his comments, this coin should command a premium in such an unlofty grade...or should I send it in for a re-grade as his statement infers that only DCAM is given out on the modern coins?

FullSteps,

Good call. I sent in a 2001 proof set and only half of the coins got DCAM's. Everything else was CAM. Must have been a mistake on PCGS's part. Wonder if I can get the difference in the E-Bay price from them for their minor mistake in labeling.

I think he means (I hate to say what others mean, but...) that a pr70dcam isn't really that nice of a coin. Really no better than an older pr68dcam.
