They look like cameos to me, but I'll defer to the more experienced.

The coin in your picture looks cameo to me, could even be deep cameo.

I would be dipping those puppies in acetone right quick before you leave fingerprints on them and ruin their value

The coin in your photo is cameo on the reverse but for a designation it must be cameo on both sides. Often you can have one sided cameo coin.

What muddler said, PCGS will require both sides to be CAM or DCAM, ANACS will denote if just one side is CAM/DCAM (eg. description will state "Obverse DCAM").

If the first 2 videos are of the same coin, I think you have a cameo. The other coins in the 3rd video look at least cameo but without seeing both sides, it hard to see for sure. Both sides must at least meet the criteria of cameo or deep/ultra cameo before calling it cameo or deep/ultra cameo. Whether or not they will be worth grading will depend on the dates and potential numerical grade in additional to the level of contrast.

First pics look cameo, and perhaps deep cameo. However it appears that their are some issues with the fields, whether it is dust and/or or hairlines I can not tell. An acetone wash could not hurt.

Thanks! I'll do an acetone wash, never heard about this before, and pick some of the better ones to post pictures of. Thank you for the valuable information!

2 questions thought, are there any good posts about acetone wash and should I go with NGC or ANACS in hopes of having them mention Deep Cameo?
