Anyways, I wish the picture did this justice but it keeps looking like an optical illusion. Noob master here thinks it looks like an opposite day cameo. The raised parts are shiny and the rest is matte. I'm totally getting that I'm not rich or anything but really, in hand this looks so awesome. Another pictured for comparison. Be well wonderful people. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 7:06 pm Well first off. Cameos and Deep Cameos (Dcam) are only on proof coins. Your coin is a business strike coin from Denver. What if the difference between a business strike and a proof strike. The proof coins are struck at least twice and on larger coins, sometimes even more. The second strike makes the devices stand out a lot more. Note the condition on the proof strike? The fields are very mirror like. But this is not a cameo strike. Why Not? Because the of missing frosting on the bust and the Memorial building. The proof example on the right is a normal proof cent. The one on the left is a business strike coin. Note the frosting on the bust. You see it slightly compared to the normal proof strike. But compare it to the Dcam on the next images. So now you see that the cameo is stronger, thus the grade of Dcam. On the older coins the frosting was only applied once when the die was being created. Thus only a few strike will show this cameo look on the bust and the Memorial building. Later on they kept adding the frosing to the die, so that the Dcams and Cameos are common to find. Thus the prices dropped a lot. You can get a PR-70 Dcam for so little of value that to have them graded pretty much exceeds the value for them today. Thus the older cameos have a higher price tag on them. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/05018013 PR-68 no cameo $40 https://www.PCGS.com/cert/05018013 PR-68 Cameo $60 https://www.PCGS.com/cert/05018013 PR-68 Dcam $120 But today the prices are a lot less even on the high grades: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/41620827 PR-69 dCam: $16 The grading fees would exceed the value of the coins. But your coin is not a proof coin. CoopHome: Are the current Dcam and Cameo coins worth grading? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 8:06 pm Taking a second look at his coin, the reason the devices are so small it that they were over polished from possibly a Feeder Finger Damage previous on this die. There is not premium for this, other than to know what to look for on these and identify what happened and move on to the next coin. Feeder Finger Damage, what is it?: http://goccf.com/t/336856 Edited by coop 08/24/2021 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 8:37 pm looks like some smokey contaminant adhered to that dime, then was rubbed off on the dime's high points Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97306 Posts	Posted 08/24/2021 11:02 pm Could it have had a clear coat sprayed on it and then send back into circulation and the high spots were polished due to handling Collecting since 1972.
