Proof 67 for a grade. I'm not certain the reverse would qualify as cameo. The photo is a little difficult to see for the center of the bell if it's cameo or not. The obverse certainly is cameo.

Meaning no offense, these images are far too small to accurately determine the grade for an example this nice.  There are two reverses in play here, Type 1 and Type 2, and the former is rather rarer and more valuable than the latter. Look to the (viewer's) left wing of the eagle on the right reverse. There will be either three or four feathers exposed to the left of the end of the perch; the four feather version is the rarer Type 1. The ratio is about 10:1. |

First and foremost, no offense is taken! I came to this forum to learn and getting your opinions on some my coins. I am relatively new to this hobby and/or addiction and this places was suggested to me by a gentleman I follow on YouTube. He really spoke highly of this community and said there were a lot of nice/polite individuals that would be happy to give thei opinions on a coin -- grading.
I thank each and every one of you that Brooke the time to respond to my post -- I am leaning as I go.
I will take better pictures (w/the sun) later this evening -- hopefully, this will make it a bit easier on y'all to assist me w/the grading process.
I'm attempting to ascertain if it's worth the money to get it slabbed -- hoping y'all can be paitient with me until I get a bit more knowledgeable with the community as well as taking a decent picture.
Thank you for your patience ... better pics coming soon.
I do apologize if my pictures/post annoyed anyone.
Thank you.

Proof 66 cameo at first glance. Nice coin that would be a candidate for grading.

Thrisonly, First  to the forum, you will be happy you took your friend's advise to join  secondly, there's no need to apologize, we are all learning.it is a beautiful coin and a close up pic will be helpful,I'd like to see the details on the Eagle's Chest and Feathers,as SsuperDdave mentioned would be good to know which type it is, I do see some grainy spotting on both Obvs. & Revs. |

Hey there, This is the best I can do while @ work -- ::::don't tell anyone::::: Will try to get these a bit larger but having to keep all under 300 pixels is tough. There's a learning curve here ... promise to get it right. Thank you everyone!   |

I had aquired a NGC 1956 cameo proof 66 many years back. It inspired me to get a set in cameo proof.
