I couldn't afford this $15,000 PF 69 * CAM

So I bought this PF 66 CAM for $320 instead. That's a savings of $14,680 of COIN MONEY

    At $3,400 it would have to grade MS67 to pay off.
    Looks nice form the picture, but that's pretty risky for a raw coin.

    It doesn't have to grade MS67 to pay off... just has to grade Proof or at least SP which I believe it probably should.

    That's crazy talk. Even if it was (and it isn't), without provenance it is slim to none and slim is walking out the building. PCGS doesn't just make Proof graded plastic for peace dollars without some sort of quorum and that will just never happen on a raw, processed and random coin, sorry.
