Coop, I think the second image is mislabeled.

Coop, I think the second image is mislabeled.  Must be a typo--it's pretty clear what variety it is. Thanks for all the diagnostic pics...I'll know for sure when it arrives.  For some commentary on these pictures--I find ALL CAPS a bit hard on the eyes; it's also the internet equivalent of shouting.  As one who designs engineering diagrams for the purpose of instruction, I find that distilling a diagram to the core components, while reducing visual clutter at all possible, gets the rest response from our viewers. --just my $.02 Edited by Thulium

Agree with cwb and Thulium on mislabeled pic 2 caption.
Thulium, when I saw you were the last post, I thought you had an update for us!

Sorry for false alarm--I should have news by Friday.  Personally, I feel pretty hopeful about this coin. |

OK...the coin arrived, and it's 100% a CAM!  It's great when hunches pay off--just made my day!  For now, a quick shot in the proof set plastic.  Edited by Thulium

Congrats! I've never seen a proof cent up close, so I didn't know the Memorial bays were cameo as well. A new lesson every day here at ccf!

Thanks...it took a lot of searching to find this one. I now have 2 1999 CAMs, and hope to find a 98 CAM now. Hey, if I find another '99 CAM, I'll send you the link. Edited by Thulium

Correct it should have read ' Close AM'.  |

I've calculated the incidence of Close AM to normal proof is something around 1/1000--but probably less since many have already been found. Edited by Thulium
