<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 857839, member: 112&quot;]CAM vs DCAM is one area where I think the TPGs make few mistakes. And it is more complicated than you might think. You really won&#039;t find much written about this aspect of it, but when determining CAM and/or DCAM you have to know the series for not all are equal.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like it is with strike. Coins that are known to be weakly struck are given more leniency when determining MS grades. Same thing with CAM &amp; DCAM. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some date/mint combinations are known for having weak cameo effects, and more leniency is given to them. Other date/mint combinations are known for having very strong cameo effects and they are treated much more strictly.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why when collectors look at 2 coins of different date/mint combinations and both have the DCAM designation, but yet on one the cameo effect is obviously much stronger than it is on the other, they think the TPG screwed up when it didn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
