WOO HOO!! Finally made another upgrade for my set! (Sort of).

I say "sort of" because it's a lateral improvement rather than a numerical bump. The one that's currently in my set is also an MS67CAM, but this one has stronger contrast. It's a long time between upgrades for this set, so I'll take a lateral!

I had the coin as a lock MS67CAM so, since it's for my own set, I ponied up the $50 for Express.
Here's the coin:
WOO HOO!

<< <i>I don't follow the intricacies of this series, so is this only a CAM because the peripheral lettering appears weakly frosted? >>
The frost is enough, but it comes up just short in the mirror depth. Too many planchet tick interruptions. For DCAM the fields really need to be smooth glass. This one is very close and certainly one of the strongest to be found in a cameo holder, but not quite there.

<< <i>Looks like a DCAM to me...or is that Russ True View Pics???? >>
It is a bit less contrasted then the images appear, but not too terribly much. I didn't put a lot of time in to shooting the images, and my camera tends to over-expose on raw ones. But it is very high end for the cameo designation and at an earlier time, on the right submission, it might have squeezed in to a DCAM holder.

Again, great coin. My hat is off to you once again.
Tough coin - hard to find that nice.
But tell me, would you rather have a 67 cam or a 65 dcam? Same points in the Registry.

It would depend on why the DCAM was graded MS65. If it was just hairlines that are hard to see, I'd rather have the MS65DCAM since it would put me at 100% DCAM. But, if it was spots or major dings I'd rather have the MS67CAM.

Very nice.

<< <i>Hey, this is cool. Pop report just updated, and this coin is #100 graded in MS67CAM. I think I should get some kind of special certificate or something.
Russ, NCNE >>
Since your set is more than 90% complete you could take advantage of 1 free grading certificate. It is not quite as rewarding as winning for begin #100 but free is free. Just check the benefits link in the registry section.
Just curious, how many Kennedy's do you own ? Raw, graded combined.

Did that long ago.

Currently about 30. Used to have zillions but I winnowed it all down to just coins I really really like.
