Proof Indian Cent Pro's: Do you think this has a shot at CAM?

I was just curious if I should send it in under the designation review?

I would guess that the mirrors aren't deep enough. Too much luster in the fields.

Russ · January 4, 2007 12:57AM

I agree.

I would say no, but I am no expert with these.

That's three people who agree with PCGS, one reason I ask is that I have seen many lower graded PIHC's that have the CAM designation with less contrast between the fields and the devices. I agree for modern coins there is no way this would get CAM.

So my take on this is that there are many coins that are over designated.

As Russ has taught me you can't underestimate the importance of the mirrors for the CAM designation. Frost on the relief is common, but the really deep mirrors are not as common for this series.

That's flattering, but I'd guess you already knew it before I ever pointed it out.

BECOKA,

You can't really judge by what's out there in holders. Fact is, there are plenty that would not re-grade cameo if submitted today. And, that applies to all series.

Glad I did not pay CAM money for this then.

Is this coin in a RB holder?

I do not recall ever seeing a PCGS Proof IHC go CAM in a BN or RB holder.

PCGS only does CAM or DCAM on RD. NGC gives out RB CAM and rare BN CAM.

regardless of the designation, it is a beautiful coin.

That's what thought, thanks for confirming that for me.

It's actually in a red holder.

Photo color is off a little. I will try to take my own pics in a few days.
