Error Morgan slab?

Just came across this auction on ebay, is it just an error slab? It says ms62dcam, I assume it meant ms62dmpl. If it were a proof, it would be worth a lot more. Interesting coin, though.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Looks like a proof, but that's just from those grainy Pics.

    Looks like a dmpl business strike to me, I'd like some more opinions. The coin number on the slab is of the business strikes, but there is obviously at least 1 error on the slab.

    So, either it's a proof and the error is the "MS," or it's a business strike, and the error is "DCAM."

    Yes, it is an error slab. It is known as a "mechanical error" which refers to an incorrect input for the label.

    mechanical error. I bought an 1896 one that is a good VAM (bar 6) but would lose the DCAM mistake if I get the attribution added. The coin number is for a regular MS UNC. Looks clearly like cameo DMPL in the images though.
