No, it isn't. The frost must be unbroken for both CAM and DCAM. The difference is in the level of contrast between the fields and the devices....
I'll guess $650, if only because any sort of toning on a Walker makes people go crazy.
Then, it sounds like the "catalog" price is a perfectly good estimate of how to value the coin for insurance purposes. Surely you can find...
I don't have a problem with the 70. I just don't see how anyone can call it DCAM as it is (even though we all know pretty much all proof Ikes are...
I don’t see anything wrong with the coin as it stands, but I don’t see how it could have been graded PR70 DCAM as it sits. Could it have toned...

I have to know the story on this: incredible cherry pick, dealer listing error, or something else?
