jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 12:06 am No, deep cameo refers to a proof strike where the devices appear to be frosted and the fields are deep black. The contrast between the two will determine if it's cameo or deep cameo. Report this Post to the Staff

No. S-Mint proofs were started in 1968 but they were also concurently minted with Business Strike S-mint cents from 1968-1974 and Business Strike nickels from 1968-1970. Business Strike S-mint SBA $1s were also minted from 1979-1981 with 1981 being a Mint Set-only year. There are also the 40% S-mint Uncirculated Ikes from 1971-1974 and 1976(along with the quarter and half dollar for the Bicentennial) but I do not really include those since they were of a different composition and not made for circulation. Since 1982, all circulating-design coins with an S-mintmark will be proofs. Report this Post to the Staff
