A new 1970-S Proof Kennedy.....will it make the grade?
« on: February 17, 2011, 10:48:29 AM »
Picked this one up raw yesterday and after looking at the PR DeepCam's out there it just
may get a DCAM 69

Maybe it's just a quirk from the lighting, but it doesn't look like the shield and the eagle's tailfeathers will permit it to DCAM, but I'm not familiar with PCGS guidelines anyway. It's still a nice coin.

Ya, proofs are a bear to image, but there is plenty frost on both sides including tail feathers
and all dates and letters.

In that case, I'm rooting for you all the way!

Nice looking coin Stef.
Is that a milk spot in the obverse field and around the 9 in the date?
The only snag I might see in the DCAM designation is the peripheral toning.
PCGS is brutal on DCAM's with peripheral toning.
Good luck.
Some coins are just plain "interesting"

Nope, no milk spots....anywhere. I love the rim toning and hope they don't take it out on the coin.
Its really looks frosty to me, but you never know with them :D
