Sprollie New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 06/22/2019 12:45 pm New to coins so I come here for advice/opinions from the experts. When I take photos of this 1964 Kennedy proof sometimes it appears most definitely that this is a cameo. Other times not so much.The photos were taken with a Canon G9 using both direct LED lighting and indirect (bouncing the light off a white piece of oak tag). As usual your opinions are appreciated and valued. Thank you for any help you can give. Report this Post to the Staff

MJD Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 06/28/2019 6:06 pm Cameos can be very difficult to photograph, as even brilliant proofs can have a slight cameo appearance when photographed from certain angles and in certain lighting conditions. For a cameo or deep cameo, you should typically see mirrored fields and frost on the devices, even in direct light. Here are some DCAM Kennedys for reference. Report this Post to the Staff

The first one looks like it has a very good shot maybe even DCAM, the second one has a chance but looks like the United might be weak on it Report this Post to the Staff
