    Obverse, no question. Reverse, maybe a little short. Could go cameo on a very lucky day. Excellent example!

    OK..I see now. Yes, the obverse is pretty nice, but the reverse is a weak. I've seen plenty of graded SMS cameos that I thought were weak, though...so who knows. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    Nah, it's just me and a couple other people that can never see the Photobucket images for some reason...

    Great obverse, nice coin.
    I give it a 50/50 chance at cam at PCGS.

    Good Luck!!

    Nice coin! Love the obverse, the reverse is iffy for CAM, though ... still, a splendid example.

    I agree... and That seems to be how most SMS Washies come (In my limited experience)...... image I just had 2 certified at NGC at 67CAM and tried to cross them... 1 crossed, the other didn't, mostly because it was a bit scudzier... they both have great obverses, and are almost UCAM on the Obverse... unfortunately, the Reverse only has enough for CAM...

    Great obverse on that coin. I don't think it will make it today.

    You want a Cam at PCGS or even across the street, make sure you send in a DCam.

    You'll get your Cameo.

    Looks like a nice coin, reverse contrast aside. I think if you were inclined to submit it, it would 7-8 (NO CAM) either place, and star at NGC. The obverse makes it nice enough to keep, rather than submit. Its worth more to have it to look at for 10-15 years than the couple of dollars you'd net sending it in. Put it in an airtite on your desk. JMO

    It looks like a little contrast on the bottom reverse lettering. Perhaps it has
    better contrast than the picture shows.

    It is a nice coin.

    It will most likely get a grade bump but not a designation.

    Or if you have Russ submit it, it'll just come back PR63. image
