[QUOTE="900fine, post: 302455, member: 6036"]Maybe. I've never been able to get a $5 Libbie to jump to 3, though they compared favorably to $10s that did. "Same" design ? Mostly, but not entirely. There are differences. The bottom line is this : that's a nice coin no matter what PCGS says or doesn't say. My personal opinion is that there is a slightly cyclical nature to grades PCGS gives out, and right now they're tougher than 24 months ago. Some will say I'm crazy; that's just my personal experience. Maybe they're thinking if they undergrade the submitter will re-submit. Or maybe I'm wrong. I was at the Houston show last weekend, and a dealer had a fabulous Proof Walker with the grade masked out by a stickie tab. He invited passers-by to grade it. Almost everybody called it a PR66 CAM. The lowest I heard was PR65 CAM. PCGS called it a PR64. No CAM.[/QUOTE]
