Of course, I make sure returns are possible but it's still a process. I received this today but, I'm not too sure how to grade proofs. What do you say? I bought it because I detected cameo in the seller's poor pics and the listing made no mention of it. I can tell the difference between brilliant and cameo on the earlier proofs but, I'm not so good at the difference between CAM and DCAM. I intentionally tried to take pics that showed the cameo effect.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2017 05:01 am Nice coin. Not a DCAM, just makes CAM. IMHO. Rick Tomaska has a real good book on proof coins. He also has a coin show on Dish Network ch85. He is the guy who got the proof standards going on PCGS. There are several levels of proof. Brilliant,-cameo,cameo,+cameo,cameo+. Brilliant means mirolike both sides.-Cameo means just a hint of frost.Cameo means moderate frost.+Cameo means heavy frost. Cameo+ means frost on one side and brilliant on the other. Almost forgot to mention matte proof,kind of a dull overall surface. John1 Edited by John1 09/22/2017 07:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 09/22/2017 08:33 am Nice semi-cameo proof . I like the reverse better then the obverse . I'm no proof grader but I'll say PF-64 . Report this Post to the Staff
