Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 11/26/2024 5:27 pm The "milk spots" are very distracting. Scratches on obversefield, likely a 1965 SMS Kennedy PF 63 Cameo Edited by Freespeech57 11/26/2024 5:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3332 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 10:09 am Thanks, all, for your thoughts. I don't see many cameo SMS coins, so I decided to go for it. Will get a better idea of how it looks if/when it arrives. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5405 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 10:29 am You cannot call SMS coins proof . This coin is a Cameo but the spots kill it . Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6623 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 11:22 am It might straight grade despite the spots, but I find it hard to believe that an aficionado is going to overlook those imperfections and pay up for a Cameo SMS slab. Edit: I see that you went for it, so let's see the photos in-hand. Good luck! Edited by Brandmeister 11/27/2024 11:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
