1962 Franklin Cameo?

ormandhormandh Posts: 3,111 ✭✭✭
What would this grade cameo or dcam. It actually looks better in hand. The lighting and focus pretty much suck. Any help would be appreciated. -Dan
Can anyone direct me on where I can find out how to show the pic instead of the link?

    Based on the images, I'd say it's a lock for cameo with a real shot at DCAM.

    looks real close to a dcam but it depends on the mirrors or depth of the reflective fields
    ngc would most likely ucam it
    not sure about a dcam from pcgs but good luck

    Thanks Russ and Cam40. I actually have five sets of these. Maybe one of them will go dcam. -Dan

    I can't believe that coin won't make DCAM.

    I don't collect proof coinage anymore. So regardless of what PCGS says, I'll just say it looks DCAM to me.

    What Russ said. That sucker is a slam-dunk CAM with a good shot at DCAM.

    PCGS is tough as nails now.

    Submitted a 57 dime cracked out of a 67 CAM holder (The huge obverse with medium reverse die)

    Came back 68 no cam. Showed the coin to Jim Capper...he laughed and said PCGS used to grade that die DCAM. Not sure what it takes to get a CAM these days. Sodl the coin as is for $75...must have been a CAM for that number.

    If you open the picture, then right click on it and click on the properties the url for the picture comes up. Highlight the URL address with the mouse and right click and then click on copy. Then you go to edit on the bottom right of the post click the edit button. An edit popup screen appears. Next, click on the little picture that is the 4th item in the toolbar from the left under the words Message Text. After you click on the little picture icon in the toolbar a popup comes on the screen. You paste the URL address from the picture into there and hit the OK button and the picture appears in the post (Note, it appears as just letters in html in the edit screen but will appear as the picture in the actual post after you click on the Edit Message button). It took me quite a while before I figured out that you can do this. Another way to do this is to host pictures elsewhere on the internet and post the URL address the same way using the little picture icon in the toolbar. This is the way to go if you want to post pictures bigger than 50kb.

    image Looks DCAM to me too. Very Nice! I think the "Milk Spots" will hurt the overall grade though?image

    Type opening and closing image tags as shown below in black. Put the URL (web address) of your picture where the red text is.
