    Try your hand at this one, grade and superlative, ie PRxx CAM, PRxx DCAM, or PRxx.

    Winner gets bragging rights!

    It's a beauty. I like the IKES just never decided to start a set I keep thinking I will but I want an album set not a slabbed set. I just don't know enough to buy top raw coins and can't bring myself to crack out the graded ones.

    Hosed up means I'm either not smart enough to figure out how to edit the poll to add more choices, or there is no way to do it.

    Feel free to guess a grade that's not on the list! (hint hint).

    Oh. OK.

    Well, I can tell from the coin number that its a DCAM (which is whyI polled PR67DCAM since it was the only DCAM in the list) so, I'll go with PR68DCAM.

    Granted, this is only a guess based upon my experience with PCGS. You see, they "used" to habd out PR69DCAM like it was candy. However, today, they are much more strict.
    I am actually quite surprised that the coin got a DCAM since the "toning", if that's what you want to call it, actually precludes that assignment of "Deep Cameo" since most of the fields are not "DEEP".

    Now, 9its possible that the coin was graded 5 or 6 years ago. If that's the case, then possible PR69DCAM but if it were submitted within the past 6 months, I'd lay money on the PR68DCAM but still wonder about the "DEEP" attribution since the fields are anything but deep.

    Wow - good answer. PR68DCAM is correct! Submitted October of last year.

    Thanks for the schooling - I never realized the coin number was different for the same coin with a different suffix - DC versus C versus nothing. Interesting.

    Same for Morgans, i.e. DMPL versus 'normal'?
