Grades are in and this is a POP 2/0 at NGC!!!

001 1968 S 25C PF 69 ULTRA CAMEO

For those of you who think this is an easy coin, there are only 15 graded in UCAM, and only 2 in 69UCAM!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Let us know how many of those 15 UCAMs are this coin and we'll really know how hard it is!

    Congrats! image

    It's not as easy as everyone thinks to find a coin like this. That's why there are only 2!

    So says "Modern Bashers":

    "What's the big deal? These coins can be found by the truckload. Modern Crap is what they are and anyone who thinks these coins have value are ingnorant."

    So says SanctionII:

    "Way to go MM, 68 Proof quarters may be plentiful, but 68 Proof quarters grading UCAM or DCAM are a "Rara Avis" and getting a 69 grade makes it even a better coin. A $6.00 proof set, plus a keen eye, plus a grading fee [$18.00], plus shipping costs [$20.00] give a total cost basis of $44.00. Sell the coin on EBay for $1,250.00 one year after you bought the coin. That gives you an annual rate of return on your $44.00 investment of 2841%. Cross it to PCGS at 69DCAM and sell it for $2,500.00. Your annual rate of return is 5682%. Sell it in 6 month instead of one year and your annual rate of return is doubled."

    Ain't cherrypicking fun?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
