Don't even say this '67 SMS Kennedy won't at least go CAM:

Crazy4Coins

After looking through another 250 '65-'67 SMS sets, finally found a nice one that I think will CAM.

Hoping everyone else here will agree

CEOcoinshopcom

I'm in on this one.

Looks CAM from here, nice piece. Talk about clean my goodness.

I like it and think it stands a chance but would give it a bath in acetone hoping to get rid of the spot above the G.
But I give almost all of them a bath before submitting just for stability purposes.

There's also a spot on the reverse left of C that needs to go as well.

Acetone is cheap especially if it adds a point now and then.

Sometimes acetone doesn't have the effect you want.......

We picked up a 1967 DDO-001 from James Wiles that had some green funge on it so we gave it a bath in acetone for a few months. We submitted it to PCGS with our last order and PCGS posted the grades last Wed night

We already had a 1967 DDO-001 graded and attributed by PCGS in MS64, DDO-001 is the new FS-103. This new coin wasn't going to come close to a MS64 so we saved the $24 PCGS attribution fee and just sent the coin in for grading. Bear in mind that the 1967 DDO-001 (FS-103) is a business strike variety. For some reason, the PCGS Grader(s) chanced the coin number and now the coin is coming back to us in a SMS holder. I have heard before that the Grader(s) default to SMS on nice looking 1965 - 1967 coinage but a SP58?

FullCameo

Wow. Nice. Plus it's heavy on the white.

DHeath

Nice half. The 67 comes nicer than the 65 and 66, but this coin has a nice look. The spot by the B on the obv might hold the coin back if it does not improve with a rinse.

As far as getting a CAM rating...from those pictures (and it could be just the photography) it may just barely make it. Very close to not CAM.... looking at some of my CAM Kennedy's.... Cheers, RickO

MidLifeCrisis

OK, I won't say it.

BryceM

One way to find out.

Do us a favor and come back and update this thread once you find out.

ModCrewman

I have to agree with Ricko...it wouldn't surprise me to see it come back without a CAM designation, but IMHO it would likely receive the CAM designation. No shot at DCAM.

This is a topic that still evades me to some degree ... I have zero experience with acetone and am trying to learn as much as I can before experimenting. Do you only "bathe" silver? Or can clads and coppers be bathed? What about bronze?
