<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4092032, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m sorry but what I said is correct, and it&#039;s confirmed in every book on the subject. I collected Mint and Proof sets in original packaging for almost 40 years. And during that time I looked at tens of thousands of original sets, always trying to find nicer sets than those I currently owned. DCAM and CAM examples were always very scarce for any minted prior to &#039;73. Sure, some examples existed, but in very low numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>For every year there is that brilliant Proofs were produced, the early strikes were deep cameo, gradually fading to cameo and eventually no cameo at all because the frost was worn off the dies by die wear. And with die wear the mirrors also suffered. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the census of these coins also confirms this. For all Proofs the number of DCAM and CAM examples are very low for all the years prior to 1973, and for &#039;73 and on you&#039;d be hard pressed to find examples that are not DCAM or CAM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
