My latest good news from PCGS

in U.S. Coin Forum

Haven't posted any new coins in awhile, so thought I'd share my most recent good news delivery from PCGS. I picked up a 1958 Proof set off of Ebay back in June that included this coin. I was amazed when I won the auction for a mere $33.

It should be returned to me from PCGS tomorrow in a sparkly new PR68 DCAM holder.

This coin moved my 1958 proof registry set up to #2 in the current standings. I'm proud to say each coin in that set was purchased raw and graded by me. :)

    Nice. Curious... did you give it a rinse before sending in or just like it came from the packaging?

    WOW! Very nice find! I wonder if the pictures the seller posted originally on ebay maybe affected the sell price? Congrats!

    Honestly, it was glaringly obvious to me from the seller's images that this coin was a lock cameo and a possible DCAM. It's all in how well you interpret images I suppose.

    While I may have thought from the seller's images that it would CAM.....I did not see a DCAM.
    That is a great score.
