    What do you want to bet he did it on purpose. Incredible.

    I guess PCGS just forgot to add "DCAM" to the label!! And, oh yeah, they wrote "MS" instead of "PR", but I guess that's understandiable since this must be the only proof coin of 1966.

    I sent a quick email to the seller a couple of days ago pointing out that a DCAM designation would multiply the value by about 100 or more based on the PCGS price guide). But got no response nor any addendum to the listing.

    I don't think that you are missing anything, Keets.

    The coin, slab, and seller might be though! image

    i searched "PCGS SMS" and went to the coin with high hopes!! what a scammin' letdown.imagebut i guess if eBay kicked all these bozos off they'd just lose too much moolah.

    Just sent the following msg.:

    Do you know that there is no such thing as a 1966 SMS PR68Dcam Washington quarter? There is no DCAM designation on the holder which would multiply this coins worth by 100 fold. I suggest that you change your listing before someone turns you in to safe harbor!

    We'll see if he changes his ways! image

    But still it is a MS68 SMS, I don't know the POP on this one but there are probably not that many MS68s.
    I may grab it for myself.

    As Cosmic says it is still a 68. Pop 14 none higher. There are 3 in DCAM, 2 67s and 1 68, though this one has no cameo. Numbers from the April pop report.

    Not to defend the seller on this , but I think if someone has bid on it , you aren't allowed to alter the listing.

    I emailed the seller and he assured me the coin is a MS68 SMS.

    Had the following e-mail waitin' for me this morning:

    "Did you ever make a mistake in your life? Oh no - your perfect."

    Funny that he was able to get the cert. # correct. image
    He did add "This is a PCGS MS68 - SMS! It is NOT a PCGS PR68DCAM - SMS! Sorry About the Mistake." to the listing. image

    Go get it, Bill. I had it in my snipers sight, but will "unload"! image
    The scan looks like the coin may have some cameo to it. Maybe that put it into the seller's mind!image
    Good Luck!

    Regards,

    Bill, I did not know you wanted it so bad. Almost sorry I out bid you(key word almost). Will let you know if you really missed something or if it is just another average 68.
