kevcoins Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 1:39 pm Hello CCF, Going through some proof sets and noticed this 1964 Jefferson nickel. Fields are super dark and devices seem to have some frost. Is this a Cameo or Deep Cameo? What grade would you give it? Looks near perfect in hand. Appreciate the feedback!

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 2:53 pm I'm seeing micro surface chatter, almost like a polish cloth used to remove dust, very slight, but enough to mar an otherwise PR67+. This may be a semi-cameo, late in the die runs, certainly not a DCAM. Report this Post to the Staff

kevcoins Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 3:31 pm Thanks for the feedback everyone. I still have a lot to learn. Crazyb0 - I set the coin on a microfiber (super soft) cloth when I inspected it. I did not use the cloth to wipe dust off the coin but I may have pushed/moved the coin around. Do you think that is what caused the surface chatter you referred to? I try to be extremely careful when handling coins. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

kevcoins Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 12:03 am Here are three proofs I pulled from three sets recently. The subject coin is in the middle. It clearly stands out from the bunch. Report this Post to the Staff
