<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 3244459, member: 11540&quot;]I only remember a little. PCGS and NGC would slab these in about 2000. A lot of folks were searching for them about that time and the price for DCAMs went crazy.</p><p>I had a friend (Russ) over on CU that was like the king of cherrypicking these on ebay. He must have had over 200 grades. At some point he started teaching folks how to spot the proof sets that had them on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, many of them that were sent in for grading were developing milk spots. Not sure if that&#039;s still the proper term today. At that time the services wanted proofs in little poly bags and put in flips when you sent them in. Some thought the poly bag was part of the problem. Some thought the problem was worse if mailed in hot weather. Russ started having better luck if he gave the coin a quick weak dip before sending them in for grading. Not sure how that worked out, long term.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those were fun times. I found a few myself but never a DCAM. I quit trying and just bought one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
