  • Gee marty- are you tryin to buy the set or see how high you can push it up in price?

    What is it that some folks here say- if you're wanting to buy it- put your MAX bid in or SNIPE IT !

    I'd give him 91¢ for it and he'd have to pay to ship it to me.

    I'll gamble on CAM possibilities in SMS sets, but that kind of money? In-hand only ... if the JFK does not go DCAM you're losing money on this one at current price.
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    I don;t know, but for that kind of money I'm going to sit back and watch MR. Moneybags Russ snipe it!

    I like the $25 version a lot better!

    How come life-long collectors like this seller all of a sudden forgot how to grade once they list on ebay? "I'm a collector not a grader.....so judge for yourself?" You'd think a long term collector would be proud to be able to accurately list a coin's good or bad
    points. Now those are wannabe's.

    I think Russ has some thoughts for Doops about that deal!image

    from the 8 or 9 very clear pics at straight on and mirrors angles with no loss whatsoever on the eagle's shield nor bottom eagles feathers, plus all rim devices fully covered with no breaks i'm thinking 67dcam+ if not the max 68dcam.
    theres not an inkling on the half i can't curate into a dcam holder.
    the nick got 4 pics straight on and angled for mirror strenth is a lock 67cam+++ potential dcam-,just let me get em in the holders. it'll be a FAT score. of course, that's what we do.
    i dont pay 300 bux for a 66sms unless it's at least a five-fold,possibly 20+fold. a fold, nevertheless.....
    of course our best hits come in in sealed outer boxes of 10,20,25,50 at 10 over ask. i enjoy it but DONT do it for the fun..
    heh....

  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    Hi Doops,
    I'm sure he will chime in, it was way to rich for my blood. I guess you and Russ saw different things with the pictures. I would be real interested to see the final PCGS grade on this one. When all is said and some someone will have the last laugh! Either Russ or Doops. Personally, I still like the $25 one way better than this one. Now someone got a deal there!

    WOW! someone should have alerted the seller about this mint sets value.

    << <i>WOW! someone should have alerted the seller about this mint sets value. >>



    I think Doops just did!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • It would be fun if Doops or someone else could post the additional pictures the seller sent out --- then we could have a poll about the predicted grade!!
  • The mirrors on that half must have looked much, much better in the pics the seller didn't post with the auction. Looking at pics posted with some other of the sellers auctions showing mirrors/contrast I wouldn't be betting on a lock DCAM with this coin. Very few are "locks" anyway. It would be interesting to see some of the additional pics though...

    Accroding to Russ there was frost in the fields on the reverse of the coin, thus keeping it out of a DCAM designation. But what the hell do I know, I'm just a wannabe wannabe who has never been!

    it's all in the professional curation process,you oughta know that, except mine are different and would scare most wannabe wannabee's into the delicately rigorous exactities of the process. same as NCS

    Nice try, dooper. Mint frost consists of microscopic planchet ticks and is not something that can be conserved away. Too many, and the frosty effect reduces the mirror depth and clarity enough to prevent the coin from grading DCAM. This coin has too many.

    You just dropped over $300 on an MS66CAM. image



    << <i>The mirrors on that half must have looked much, much better in the pics the seller didn't post with the auction. >>



    They didn't. They looked worse.

    yeah, that's why those 2 64 ah sets you were ha ha ha'ing about i bought for 150 and 180 yeilded a 65dcam and a 68cam to the net tune of $1300 which really was'nt thatgood of a hit but when it's at least a hit,nevertheless, you take it

    Another nice try, gomer. I track the pops for Accented Hairs every week and know when every DCAM was made over the last three years. Last year there were seven made total. Six of those were made by a single dealer on one submission - not you - and the seventh was made by Marty. You're trying to BS the wrong guy.

    The only way you're getting a DCAM out of that 1966 SMS is if you submit it to Cammie at ICG. image

    One of you two needs to get their facts straight. Now Russ he didn't say it DCAMed at PCGS!

    It's real simple, dooper. Post the submission number for the PR65DCAM Accented Hair you supposedly made.
