<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ethan, post: 2465195, member: 68800&quot;]So I have been collecting them for years. I am still learning as I have been using TPG graded halves to learn what Cameo, Deep Cameo, and Grades are. I look to them for guidance and expertise to attempt to grade them myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the dilemma. I have PR67,68,and 69 DCAM halves of the years 1968,1969, and 1970. Yes I have a few SMS but those are another animal all together. There is no consistency and at the cost of grading them, it is unacceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I was missing was a PR69DCAM 1968-S. Well I finally got one after bidding on at least 8 of them. They are the hardest to get of the three. What I got was a PCGS graded coin (the best right?).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s31.postimg.org/o32uez16z/1968_SPCGS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I get it in and look at it. It is nice but.....so I get out my previous highest graded 1968, a PR68 Ultra Cameo from NGC. I was shocked, I called the wife and had her look, I asked my brother and hands down the NGC PR68 is better then the PCGS PR69. yes I have looked and the grade is what it is, the NGC in my eyes grades better and it is a PR68. It can not be seen well enough from a picture but there are no significant differences in the &#039;dings&#039; in the coins, none but for sure, 100% sure the NGC is GRADES of Cameo higher. I am not expert but I am not ignorant of what I am looking for either, at least I do not think so.</p><p><br /></p><p>See what you think,</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s31.postimg.org/6beaxumez/1968_S.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the best way I can describe what I am seeing,</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s31.postimg.org/iw63gc6rf/DCAM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The PCGS cost more, a LOT more.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a great example of buy the coin not the label....eBay is a gamble without good pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no one to blame but me, but I would guarantee you that if you collect Kennedy&#039;s and was given the change to pick of these, there is no doubt which one you would pick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
