Owner's Comments

I bought this coin in an NGC holder off eBay. The holder was really scratched up, but the coin was gorgeous. I had to submit to PCGS twice for cross over and it did cross the second time. I really want to thank the grader for looking past the holder and looking at the coin. This coin has the best frost contrast and mirrored fields of any DCAM I own. I really think this belongs in a 68+DCAM holder. The fields on this coin are spotless and I have not seen a nicer 1957 PR68DCAM in Coinfacts.

The 1957 Proof Quarter is very scarce displaying Deep Cameo surfaces. And one of the tougher dates to display Deep Cameo from all the Proof Washington Quarter series. PCGS has graded less than 100 examples in all grades combined with Deep Cameo surfaces for this date. In PR68 Deep Cameo there are probably less than 50 examples that exist. In PR69 Deep Cameo it is very likely that less than a dozen examples have survived with no examples existing in better condition.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
