    All you guys say cam....I guess maybe my moniter is not properly showing the contrast needed to get a cam designation.
  • TinyTiny Posts: 2,598

    I'm saying Cam because I see some frosting on the devices.
    Ain't no Deep or Ultra but I think it's there.

    It looks cameo to me.

    I have a hard enough time trying to grade proof franklins in hand compared to business strikes.

    I postulate it is much harder to grade proofs with a well taken pic than business strikes from a well taken picture??

    type 1 or 2???

    It does look cam from the pics. It also looks pretty high grade but it is impossible to tell if the proof is hiding any hairlines. That being said from that angle is looks pretty darn nice to me.

    Oh, and by the way, it's a Type 1.

    Hard to tell CAM with the light reflecting directly in the middle of the coin but I think you may have something there!
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    The reflection is way in the way...but but judging from the little contrast that is visible I'd say PR68CAM, maybe DCAM.
