When you get your grades back, and the lowest is PR65CAM, it's not bad.

I really thought the superbird would grade CAM, and the SMS 25C SP67.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

Lotsa mirrors and bling there, I reckon. Some frost too, eh?
That's on my list of things to find... so far no luck but I'm always looking.
It seems like too many people now know about the variety.

The Superbird is really not a rare variety. I have heard mentioned that perhaps 40%+ of the 1952 Proof Washington Quarters are Superbirds. In fact, I recently purchased 5 unopened 1952 Proof Sets, and 4 had Superbirds.

Jaime Hernandez wrote a nice PCGS Article on the variety, complete with a closeup pic ...
I would like to see the 1967 SMS SP67CAM dime. Cameo SMS dimes are rare birds indeed. It must have very, very nice mirrors.
At a Santa Clara show some years ago I searched through proof and SMS sets a So. Cal. dealer had. We chatted for a while and I saw one of his helpers setting aside some sets in a separate box. I asked the dealer about it. He said the Rick Tomaska had perviously looked through his sets and picked out some he would buy. The helper was setting aside the sets RT picked out.
The dealer showed me a 1956 SMS set that RT had picked out. In it was a 1965 dime that looked like a Cameo or DCAM proof. The frost on the devices on both sides of the coin was thick and even. The best part though was the fields. The fields on both sides looked like a deep, jet black pool of water. An amazing SMS dime, particularly since it was a 1965.
Wish that I had gotten to the set first
