    As far as I know, its a wash with the series that I've seen therefore I would compare the coins based on eye appeal and cost.

    The points are the same so I'd go with the most attractive coin. It's probably going to be the 68CAM.

    Or even better a 67DCAM, which is same as a regular 69. Eye appeal should be your main factor.

    Depends upon the year, if weights and bonuses have been assigned.
    If you can provide more details, I'm sure somebody will help.

    okay yes... its for the Modern Type proof set 1959-present.

    I think a 68CAM normally looks better than a 69.

    As far as modern proofs go until the sets are weighted they are equal - as far as points. Are you after points? I'm guessing even after the moderns are weighted it won't make much of a point difference except in some rare occasions. If price is not a factor in your purchasing I'd take a look at both coins (if possible) and buy the one that had the most eye appeal to me. I mainly collect CAM/DCAM coins but I also have some beautifully toned non-cameo proofs that I'd never trade/sell in a million years while I know I could almost always replace a typical cameo. Just a thought........ image

    BTW Michelle - in one of my sets I have a PR69 listed even though I own a 68CAM. They were equal in points and equally difficult in obtaing. Last time I checked they were pop 2 and pop 4 coins. I liked the 69 much better so it's the one sittin' in the registry - and it was the less expensive of the two! image

    I can't speak to other series, but with early Lincoln Proofs, you don't get any more points for having a CAM. For instance, a 66 red gets one point for red -- 67. A 65 Cam only gets one point too, which would make it only a 66, one point less than the other. To me it is not fair from this perspective, but I have vowed to finish out the 53, 54, and 56 in 67CAM, and be happy with the coins I want to collect instead of shooting for points. Maybe PCGS will recognize an additional point for CAMs sometime in the future.

    CHECK THE SET . CHECK $100 PROOF PLATINUM IT STATES THAT SO MUCH IS TAKEN OFF IF IT ISN'T DCAM . PROOF IS THE LOW END .

    THE WAY THAT YOU STATE IT I WOULD THINK BOTH WILL BE A 2 or 3 POINT DEDUCTION EITHER WAY .
