    Great coin! That is really attractive. Do you think it is DCAM? Judging by the obverse it seems at least an obvious cameo...

    Carl, it's a cam, but the mirrors are near proof. Neat coin. Thanks.

    modern coin.May I ask where you got the coin?

    Normally, no, but today was laundry day so I'm in at the shop late.

    Don,

    That thing might be ugly, but I'm not sure so I'll need an in-hand evaluation.

    Bear, thank you very much. I remember your collection, and in fact still have pictures of a few coins. image This coin came out of a local shop in a set that walked in. The reverse is identical and clean. I count the coin 8 cam, and it's in the permanent collection. I won't holder this coin, as that leads to temptation. Thanks all.

    Beautiful coin; the word "clad" had not been in the vocabulary very long and the Mint was in new territory with these. Forty years later, it has held up rather well. Your permanent collection would be a treat to see.

    It is quite attractive and I have not seen one even close to this... and not to take anything away from this... those that have responded already make the case for this being one incredible coin.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    No, I put it in one of the rings for the pic. I like not having to crop.

    Wow, it looks awesome on the obverse. How about a photo of the reverse? I would send this one in to PCGS, to get maximum value if you ever want to sell.
