Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 09/06/2014 1:44 pm Most of my 1975s are like this (and I have quite a few more than other years), they have a slight cameo look on the bust only. The reverse looks normal. Is this a business strike or a prooflike escapee? They both have die polish lines visible. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 09/06/2014 7:27 pm Thanks SPP! Do the cameo ones carry a premium over non-cameo ones, and do the reverse need to have a "frost" effect too to be classified as a cameo or it needs the obverse only? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10471 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 11:24 am Yes, cameos do carry a premium, and ICCS/CCCS only consider the obverse when grading a cameo - but when it comes to nickel dollars, finding a buyer willing to pay a premium is even rarer...

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 12:20 am Are they unpopular? Or is it just because they're not silver "silver dollars"? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10471 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 01:50 am They are not silver, and they never really circulated... that said, completing a date set in gem MS-65 grades is pretty darn tough...
