CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 4:56 pm For this coin, taking pictures is hard (for some reason) so bare with me please! One additional thing, I'm not sure if identifying cameos falls under grading so sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. I know it's a type 1 from examination, but is it a CAM? I think it's a cameo based off of the frosty appearances of the devices. I hope it's not tough to see from the pictures, and I'll try to take better ones if needed. Any help is appreciated! Happy hunting! PS the white spots showing up around and above the building and around Jefferson are just glares. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 01/05/2019 4:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 6:58 pm Awesome thanks! Also, I only posted in the grading forum because I was unsure if a cameo was going to be somehow incorporated with a grade. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
