mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 2:46 pm Yeah cameo franks aren't too expensive except for the earlier years, what does get expensive is when you try and do a DCAM set.....golly prices go through the roof and to be honest sometimes some DCAMs look like CAMs, cant tell the difference Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 12/30/2012 4:55 pm I need: 1960 1959 1958 1956 type 2 (I want to upgrade my toned example for a cameo) 1954 1952 1951 1950 And of course, the infamous 1961 DDR. My current 1956 type 1 is a PR66 and if I can upgrade I will. For now, since I cherrypicked this coin for cheap, I'm ok with it. I have a ways to go, but I'm loving it. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 12/31/2012 11:20 am I'm working on a PF66 set. While it's not CAM, it allows me to keep my other interests alive. Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 7:31 pm Well, I got an upgrade in the mail today! This is a nice one, the pictures dont quite do it justice. Newest addition is a 1962 PCGS PR66 DCAM. Its got great frosty devices with some reddish color that I love. One large milk spot at 9 o'clock on the reverse, but other than that its perfect. I will likely sell or trade my 1962 PR65 CAM, hopefully to help me get the 1960 I am missing. That and an upgrade for my 1956 type 2 will be my focus. Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 12:00 am Hi everyone, wanted to share a new coin and some more photos in general. I have been doing a registy set since I started this collection and its pretty cool. Decided to take some consistent photos of my coins for the site. Not sure if I am allowed to share the link. Anyways, I wanted to share the new updated photos of where I am at so far. What a really amazing series this is. The proofs are really out of sight. Enjoy! Heres a shot to give a better idea of the coins look... it has nice nice red tones across the obverse and a bit on the reverse. I really love this coin: Last is my newest coin. Its an upgrade from a nice 66Cameo that I picked up raw a while back: Thanks to everyone for looking! Edited by Hondo 02/18/2013 12:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7195 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 09:16 am The shear beauty of a cameo Franklin (and Kennedy) half is amazing. Report this Post to the Staff
