<p>[QUOTE="cowseatmaize, post: 1043621, member: 28092"]Hi, I ran across a box proof 1982s Washington half this morning and was dumbfounded by price variation on the bay. Original boxed about $10. Opened and repackaged by PCGS PR69DCAM $25 and PR70DCAM over $100. Does this mean it's luck of the draw when buying from the mint or does the slight movement in the plastic capsule degrade it. A third maybe is could it be just how the grader feels at the moment. I figure anything that close to perfect were newly opened mint proofs and graded. I did read somewhere that virtually all coins after 1977 were deep cameo but I don't remember where. I think it was the PCGS site. My interest was peaked by reading a thread from over a year ago titled &quot;MS/PR69 OR MS/PR70~Can you tell the difference?&quot; Any new or thoughts I have missed in my casual browsing? It really sounds like people just want the PCGS name. Thanks, Eric[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
