busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/20/2007 09:33 am WOW!!!!!it's been a while sense I have been able to sit down to my computer. came back from Cincinnati to a war zone. southwest Missouri got hit with an ice storm that all but paralized this little town I live in. I guess our friends from below the boarder that have migrated up here woke to a big suprise. I've never seen so much devistaion caused by ice. no power for 6 days. and there will be some out for 2 weeks they say. I don't know how some of these folks do it. a little inconvenience and there lost..to an Ozark country boy.............well off the soapbox this is a coin forum so enough of the ice talk. this is a pic. of a coin just purchased for the certified type set that I'm putting together. it's a 1979s type II Pr69 ultra cameo. SBA, sticking with the 69's not sure a true 70 really exists. that's my opinion. not raelly much to choose from in the SBA's it was a short lived type. I've started with the modern type coins so bare with me and they will get more intresting Image: Scan0001.gif 43.2 KB Image: Scan0002.gif 49.55 KB Next coins Image: Scan0004.gif 35.57 KB Image: Scan0006.gif 35.17 KB are the 2005s ocean view and the 2005s bison. Both are Pr69 ultra cameo. Can someone explain to me the difference between cameo, deep cameo, and ultra cameo. Report this Post to the Staff

PR69 is, to me, a nice plateau to establish a Modern collection at. 70's are usually prohibitively expensive, iffy in terms of reality, and in such demand that 69's are relatively undervalued as a result. I'm fixing to go down that PR69DCAM road with Jeffersons. The Cameo terms are subjective descriptions of the relative frostiness/contrast of the coin - "deep" and "ultra" are roughly equal states used by PCGS and NGC, respectively. Either way, they're supposed to represent the maximum contrast between fields and devices, and to be noticeably frostier than a standard "cameo." Like any other subjective evaluation, there's always someone willing to argue whether the term fits or not. Report this Post to the Staff
imanangel0686 Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/20/2007 8:13 pm i live in part of st. louis county, the part I'm in didn't get hit bad at all with this storm, and for the first time with the last few storms we didn't lose power. The summer and November storms I was out for 5 days each time. I was just glad that they still hadnt picked up all the branches from the November storm cause we just added the ones from the last storm to the pile. Those coins look really nice. I love the susan b. coin its very nice looking. Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 01/20/2007 8:22 pm My brother just returned from a trip to Nebraska. He had been a head high school wrestling coach there at two schools for about 20 years, and one of the schools wanted him to attend its tournament so they could honor him. Anyway, he brought back pictures of the honors as well as the weather. The pictures showed trees and telephone poles down, as well as a steel tower. The ice storm in Nebraska was really something. The only ice storm I ever witnessed was years ago while visiting my brother in Nebraska. I remember driving wrestlers in a team van on glaze ice for better than 30 miles. Quite an experience, and I'm glad we don't have that sort of weather condition here in western Colorado. The picture of the SBA was very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
imanangel0686 Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 02:05 am i loved the last storm, where I am we didnt get hit too bad, other parts of the area got it really bad, because they didnt get hit bad with the other 2 storms we had. but ne way the look of everything covered in ice is so pretty. all the trees look like crystal. the other nice part was we got to see all the pretty trees and there wasnt any ice on the streets. We are having another storm right now so who knows how bad things will be in the morning. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 11:23 am Susan B Looks great all dressed in cameo !! Im pretty sure she had nothing to do with global warming !! Seeing as how Her reception into commerce was met with a pretty cool acceptance from most of the country !! Just another example of our ever thoughful mint,, making a dollar coin the approximate size of our quarter dollar,, I must have been handed no less than 2 dozen of these in change as quarters !! Being the type person that Iam ,, I always handed them back with a lesson on coin Identification . Metalman Edited by Metalman 01/21/2007 11:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
