Grade Assignment Details

Grade: PR69DCAM (Proof 69 Deep Cameo).

Strike Quality: Proof (PR).

Struck multiple times with specially prepared dies on polished silver planchets for maximum detail clarity.

Numeric Condition (69):

A near-flawless preservation state on the Sheldon Grading Scale. It exhibits a fully crisp strike and vibrant luster, missing a perfect 70 score only due to tiny, near-invisible hair-thin handling lines or microscopic planchet flaws.

Visual Designation (DCAM): Deep Cameo.

Refers to a severe visual contrast where the raised design motifs (the immigrant family and hospital building) are frosted with a stark matte texture, sitting on top of fields that are mirrored like liquid glass.

Label Type: Flag Special Label (used by PCGS as a decorative, custom-released insert to enhance presentation)

Generation Design: It uses the standard blue border layout on the lower half that reads "PROFESSIONAL COIN GRADING SERVICE", combined with a custom flag insert.
