The '62 is the coin I would go after. It shows the most hair detail.

sel, you should get one! The 1962 is easy to get and cheap too! The earlier years are the most expensive.

Beautiful 1959s, that year is the hardest for cameos if I'm correct

Mkman123, 1959 is tougher than any other years starting in the mid 50's, but it isn't as difficult as the first couple years. This makes sense in terms of the mintages.... But relatively, I agree 59 is The toughie as far as cameo. Dies were redone for 1960, so 59 is tougher than 58, 58 is tougher than 57 etc. it's interesting how this is true until 54 or 55, then the lower mintages of the first few years kind of negate that pattern.
I got something in the mail today, will share later this evening.

I want to finish my BU set and then start the proofs. Love being able to drool over the ones here.

Here is my 1962 PR66. It is not ranked as a cameo by the TPG, perhaps because of the "album" toning and/or the spot on the bell.   |

clairhardesty, is the coin in a TPG holder? I have a deeply toned 1961 that is also listed as a cameo. My guess if it is in a holder is due to the lack of full cameo to the left of Ben's portrait. |

Probably is a cameo as sometimes the grading companies can be inconsistent.
