General Question On 1950's Era CAM/DCAM's

LeeG · August 2, 2005 7:36AM

I know we have quite a few fan's of the 1950's Era Cameo and Deep Cameo coins here on the Forum. I'm currently working on a 1957 PCGS Proof Registry Set. In the past when I've upgraded I've sold the other coin. But I'm torn now on selling any 1957 Cameo or Deep Cameo coin. It's not like these things are growing on tree's and are a dime a dozen. Should I "Hold" or "Sell"? Appreciate everyones comment's, thanks!

Personally, I would hold. I have multiple repeat franklin cameos that I could sell......... but I like them too much......

For 1957 - IMHO

In dcam hold cents, nickels, high grade dimes, quarters and halves.

Sell cameo cents, dimes, quarters.

Flip a coin on the other cams.

This advice changes from date to date in the '50's. It is tough to generalize the whole decade, but I believe all PCGS dcams will bring stronger money in the future. Cameos will not enjoy the same price increases - especially the common ones.

Only blind people wouldn't be.

The 1957 Jeff is the scarcest post-1950 proof in CAM. It's easier to find 1950s, 1951s, etc. The '57s are elusive buggers and holding may prove to be a good strategy. Only about six have been made in PR-67 CAM (now 50/15) in the past couple of years despite the flood of submissions.

If it's a no problem coin, and you can afford to keep it without hurting your other collecting endevors, keep them. I've got a 1950 PR67RD Lincoln and honestly.... I like my PR65RD better. So I keep the "65" beside the "67."
