  1. I sent this NGC 68 Cam to NGC for a grade review, hoping for a DCam designation. I knew the odds were long since there are none graded as such. Well, there are still none. But, I did get a new holder for it. I've just been too lazy to re-image it. grin.gif I think the frost fade, the eagle in particular, is probably the main reason that kept it from upgrading.

  2. Thanks Sy. MPL's were minted from 1909-1916. One for each year with the exception of 1909. In 1909 they minted a 1909 and a 1909 VDB (which is the holy grail). Mintages on all were miniscule compared to todays proofs. Mintages range from about 400 (VDB) to about 2500. I've read from different forum members that the 1916 only has a mintage of around 600 despite what the reported mintages say.
