The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Is this always what happens when coins come back from PCGS??? Hence the low price?!

Translation: The fields turned to crap while it was in for grading.
If you guys watch the auctions for modern proofs, you'll see plenty at 67CAM. I can pretty much guarantee that they were nice when they were first pulled from the sets and hazed over while in for grading. Sadly, this is something I have too much experience with.
On the upside, thanks to Supercoin's sage advice combined with some experimentation, I've eliminated the problem on my submissions.

You're right, but I think I see why. Look at the pics in the link.

I have quite a few 64DCAMs through 67DCAMs to my credit that came from my learning experiences -both from the point of grading and the point of choosing the right pieces to submit.
I generally give my low cams and dcams to young collectors to get them interested. I have, fortunately, gotten much better at it of late.
Inquiring bears want to know.
<< <i>Russ - wasn't your solution for haze-fighting to use crunchy SaFlip flips and no bags? >>
Ursabear,
Correct. That, and I no longer submit proof coins right after pulling them from the packaging. I leave them out exposed to the air for a couple weeks to make sure no mint-induced goober emerges.

I remember when every Lincoln I submitted to PCGS was an MS 67 (minimum) or a good shot at a 68. PCGS said MS65 or MS66!! Upset, yes I was but I learned. My grading is much less optimistic these days and much more accurate. I save on submission fees (because I don't submit the "marginals" and I reduce the tension in my life at the same time.)
We all have been in that fantasy land where our "pride and joy" coin is mush better in our eyes than it deserves to be.

Coppernicus,
Nope, it's haze that killed the grade. It's a modern proof. Completely different animal than business strike coinage. These coins RARELY come from the mint less than DCAM and easily grade high. Haze kills them.
