[QUOTE="QUEENKOIN, post: 7084, member: 656"]What are the differences between a NGC Ultra Cam or a PCGs DCAM??? NGC focuses more on the frost of a coin...and not so much on how deep the mirrors are..... PCGs really wants to see deep mirrors and frost, but I have found if a coin has really deep mirrors, it can get into a DCAM holder without being the most frosty thing out there.. Here is a image of my 57DCAM, notice that you can see Franklins face reflecting several times into the Mirrors (fields of a proof)... [IMG]http://www.hepcatradio.com/delete/57dcam-5.jpg[/IMG] That is what one should expect to see in a coin that has deep mirrors, and with deep mirrors the coin should fade into a lovely black and white contrast. It is very diffucult to gauge the depth of mirrors from images, one must have the coin in hand and examine it carefully while rotating the coin... Here is a yummy DCAM Roosie, these are the type of GEMs I look for to submit, DCAM & Ultra Cam coins are very stunning to me, and can often be found in low priced proof sets...... Happy searching...
