CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 10:29 am I recently acquired some proof coins and noticed the reverse of the 1963 LMC looks Ultra cameo. Is this normal for a proof coin? I always thought that this type of thing was reserved for a special issue set. The obverse appears to have an extra Frosty bust of Lincoln as well.

CouchDiver1978 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 12:17 pm I guess it is normal in the error and variety scence, but here I'm speaking more to the Frosted Lincoln bust and Memorial Building contrasting the mirrored fields. I have a 1980 first strike special edition LMC that feature is this very thing. I'm just not aware of any special edition 1963 proofs that were put out. To my knowledge none of the other coins in the set exhibited Cameo or even near cameo appearance. Edited by CouchDiver1978 04/09/2019 12:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 1:39 pm Prior to 1978,most proofs were brilliant proof...no cameo of any level. 1978 and newer proofs are expected to be cameo. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
