Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 11:22 am Glenzy1 Only in MS or are UHC sought after in Proof? Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 11:48 am All finish's: Business strikes, proofs/proof likes/ specimen, etc. Cameo's are sort of like "the icing on the cake".(so to speak) Nice to have, adds to eye appeal, adds to coins value, but not a necessary trait when hunting for a specific date/decimal.

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 09:03 am Here is an very early example ,..that is not listed as a cameo ,..but definitely has cameo qualities...and listed as a "First Strike" by ICCS. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 7:08 pm Thanks for all the information. I was looking over some of my PL sets.... And I see new things every time I look. I pulled out a 1969 set that had 4 non cameos and 2 with cameos, 1 heavier than the other. Is it worth getting the cameos graded that I find? Report this Post to the Staff

Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 9:34 pm Now it appears to me that it's the quality of the die. How could you distinguish MS cameo from PL cameo? Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 9:39 pm Jo It looks cameo for sure. Unsure of strike due to toning. Wait for an expert to chime in Petersun I believe it's in the fields that you look at. Mirror fields is proof, dull is MS Report this Post to the Staff
cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 12:22 am Here's an interesting reference article... http://www.edmontoncoinclub.com/cameo.htm And one of my nicer Heavy Cams... cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 10:38 am Cameron93 Thanks. I think this was the same article posted on page 1 but it never hurts to review it again. Lol. Why didn't they attribute the cameo designation onto the slab? Beautiful coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CanadianCollector Valued Member Canada 306 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 10:51 am Do you think the reverse of my 1982 penny in this thread has cameo in it? Some of those coins posted here are gorgeous by the way! https://goccf.com/t/144470 Report this Post to the Staff
cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 4:00 pm Coin Chick... Re: Quote: Why didn't they attribute the cameo designation onto the slab? PCGS is kind of funny with marking attributions on coins... I think you have to pay extra if you want them to mention Cameo... and not all submitters either know that, or are willing to pay... Take care, and Have a Great Day! cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 6:28 pm In reference to the pic of the 25c PCGS PL65 just above..... Would that coin have come from a complete Proof-like set from 56 and separated into it's own separate holder..? .. ....and is it worth the expense to do that to a set by breaking them up. I'm thinking of my 1955 Arn set also showing here. Report this Post to the Staff
