[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1629083, member: 15929"]Given the fact that its a proof means that detailed photo's are an absolute must to9 determine grade since hairlines and minor hits/knicks simply cannot be seen in an online photo. Especially one so small. But, you've stated its a DCAM and PCGS has simply gone way overboard in grading IKE Proofs anymore that each grade they issue is just questionable. The IKE Group has called them onto the carpet in addition to some of the varieties selling for quite handsome prices. I see its a pegleg and PCGS can have selective grading woith these since a lot of the valuable IKE's are of this obverse design. But you want a guess? I could take the safe road and think that your surprised at the grade and say PR65DCAM or I could go with what my gut says and toss out a PR66DCAM. However, given the lack a detailed photo's, I won't qualify or stand behind either guess since that all they are. Guesses based upon the textual matter of the thread.[/QUOTE]
