I've been wanting a nice Proof 1964 Kennedy for a while now. I know they're really a common type coin but who cares - I just want one.
Anyway, eBay being the dumping ground it is, sometimes doesn't seem like a good place to buy coins. Take this DCAM Kennedy for example. The seller states,
<< <i> "One small spot on obverse near chin brought the grade down from 69 to 68. >>
" Does this sound correct? Or perhaps it spotted after being graded and it's now a PR67 or PR66?
I think I'm going to Baltimore next month - perhaps I'll look for a nice Kennedy there. Ebay being the dumping grounds that it is.

Since the seller has a return policy and decent feedback, I wouldn't hesitate buying it.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
They are all common, over priced, over graded and just plan
Save your money and buy Franklins
Leave the Kennedys to the sapps

If you don't care about cameo contrast you can save yourself hundreds and get a common type coin. A 1964 JFKs in superb, attractive, no problem, DCAM aren't really common at all, in fact you will have to look around a bit. If you find a good seller on eBay that actually might be the best venue for this coin. One day Russ might sell one.
I did not even have to click the link to know.

I've got to agree with Russ on this one...chances are the coin is not a newly grade coin as I doubt PCGS would have given it a 68 with that spot lately.
Keep in mind though that spots and marks seem larger than they really are in photos.

I knew it would happen.
<< <i>Maybe it's just the image, but the reverse cameo looks way too weak to be a DCAM. >>
The coin number is on the slab, which indicates it was graded before PCGS tightened up on DCAMs for Kennedies. Bottom line -- if Russ does not like it, you do not want it.

So it's not just the image, but rather a poster child for designation review.
