<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 857303, member: 8012&quot;]Recently, I&#039;ve started looking at slabbed proof coins.&nbsp; For various reasons, I&#039;ll almost never have the opportunity to see the coin &quot;in hand&quot; before buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know this is going to be a &quot;way too general&quot; question, but let&#039;s take the following example: (I&#039;m using PCGS prices - so no comment on that).</p><p><br /></p><p>1964 Nickel PR69 CAM lists for $80</p><p>1964 Nickel PR68 DCAM lists for $65</p><p><br /></p><p>Forget about the price differential.&nbsp; I&#039;m more concerned about buying &quot;long distance&quot; and relying on pixelated photos and the assigned PCGS/NGC grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, it is more likely that PCGS will get the PR69 vs. PR68 wrong than they will get the CAM or DCAM wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, have you seen DCAM coins that should be CAM?&nbsp; I guess I&#039;m thinking it&#039;s a better bet to buy the DCAM vs. CAM or the CAM vs. the &quot;regular&quot; PR coins because you can probably count on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the difference between a PR68 and a PR69???</p><p>Any comments/experience/ideas you wish to share would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
