<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3607576, member: 19165"]No, this coin would not receive a DCAM grade. Toning does not affect the designation, but breaks in the cameo do. It appears that there is a shiny spot at the point of his bust on the obverse. There also appears to be a bit of weakness in the cameo on the bell hanger and throughout his cheek. To qualify for DCAM, the mirrors must be deep and the cameo effect must be uniformly thick. </p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on how forgiving the TPG may be, this coin may still qualify for CAM, but those aren't worth as much (and especially not in the medium grade this appears to be.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
