SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 6:47 pm It is worth it, if the individual coins are of gem quality (i.e., PL or SP 66 or better, with superb eye appeal). I sent in this 1955 dollar last year to ICCS and it came back PL-66 Cameo, but I thought the eye-appeal was superb. So I sent it to PCGS this year, and it came back PL-67+ (second finest graded by PCGS) - I would say that for this specific coin, it was worth it!! Photos were taken through the ICCS mylar flip...

cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 10:31 pm DEVLEC... Re: "Would that coin have come from a complete Proof-like set..." Yes, unfortunately I think many of these already low-mintage sets were broken up... often the one dollar coin by itself if certified & slabbed at a high grade will sell for as much as the whole set itself... On some of the dates the penny and fifty cent piece may be worth a decent amount if slabbed... but most of the nickels, dimes, and quarters don't draw that high a resale value... You've got a real nice set there... if it were me I'd just keep it together... Take care, and Have a Great Evening! cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 11:46 pm Early PL dollars were available individually from the mint as well as in sets. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
cameron93 Valued Member Canada 190 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 02:07 am Yes, DBM is correct... This was discussed in previous topic... https://goccf.com/t/140869&SearchTe...1952,PL,sets cameron93 Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 5:28 pm Thanks for this Cameo reminder SPP .. Here are another 3 examples. I'm guessing that the Tombac SP's are always struck as a cameo..is that right..? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 04:57 am Can a mint state coin have a cameo? or are cameos only found on proof coins? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 08:27 am Yes John..Most of the 'cameo' coins showing here are MS coins. You just have to keep on looking...They're out there ...waiting to be discovered.... Report this Post to the Staff
allspice Pillar of the Community Canada 746 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 10:05 pm @ Airwolf, beautiful coin! Should grade high; very few if any surface marks. Cameo for sure on reverse; obverse more of a heavy cameo... definitely worth sending in for grading... Report this Post to the Staff
Airw0lf Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 07:53 am Thank you Allspice , after chat with SPP-Ottawa and your comment I think I will do that the next week Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 6:28 pm Another question.... If I had a cameo coin in one of the pliofilm packages from the 70's that I sent for grading would it come back MS since it is a circulation issue? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 6:37 pm Nope. It will be either PL (proof-like) or Numismatic BU (after 1976...)
