biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 10:17 pm Here is a nice example of a coin with an effect that is sometimes referred to as "circulated cameo" due to the light and dark toning contrast. Unfortunately, it has a few hairlines across the cheek and wingtips but at least the grade is low enough that they are not too distracting. Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 09:16 am That's pretty much the perfect version of a F12 coin. I can imagine a super conservative service putting it in a VG10 holder though. Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 12:09 pm Solid F-12, pushing F-15. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 2:55 pm I hadn't heard the term "circulated cameo" before but I've certainly seen examples that would qualify for that description. Thanks for sharing! I too think it would grade F-12. "LIBERTY" is a bit marginal for that grade, but the rims are solid and detail everywhere else is very strong. The eye appeal is exceptional and the hairlines and small digs by Miss Liberty's ear should be acceptable at the Fine level. Report this Post to the Staff
