Is this 1970-S Kennedy Proof DCam...

Ok, I know that it is a widget. I have a difficult time figuring out Cameo and DCameo designations so I thought that I would ask for your opinions.

Is this a DCam Proof?

Is that a forst break near Kennedy's temple, or just a shadow?

If it's just a shadow, I'd say that it has a nice shot at DCAM. If it is a frost break, then it'd say it's only a CAM.

I would say definitely not DCAM, but with a good shot at CAM. Just for the sake of comparison, here's one I submitted a couple of years ago that didn't even get the CAM designation, your coin looks like it has similar frost breaks on the eagle's wings and shield:

Doesn't look like it to me, but then you can never be sure about the picture and how well it captures the frost.

I think it has a good chance.

These can be tough to tell from a picture though. The amount of frosting on the lettering is usually a good sign for how it appears in hand.

I wish I could help. Here are two coins I submitted that I thought were both DCAMS:

MS65 (No CAM/DCAM)

PR66DCAM

Sold both.

This is a "shot" DCAM:

It would get the designation about 50% of the time.

What would stop it Russ? ...Insufficient degree of frosting?
