cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 12:24 pm After 1982 almost all proofs are cameo. Of course, they started getting common back around 1972 and a little more common each year. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 2:02 pm I agree with Cladking and John1. Looking at my proofs, I start to see a cameo with the 1972 coins. My 1978 and newer proofs have an obviously deeper cameo than the prior years.
