unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 2:56 pm Hello; I am a Canadian, and as such, most of my collection is Canadian - and circulation to boot. I also have a smaller USA coin collection, and again, almost all of it is circulation (collecting them for the past three years has been REALLY tough with borders closed!). I have one proof set gifted to me by my step-mom many years ago, and I just looked in to it's value; At a glance it has a very underwhelming value - but that's at a glance. I have a 1969-S proof set. I am pretty sure that the penny and nickle are both a cameo finish (some might call it a frosted) - on both sides. The reverse of the Kennedy dollar (eagle side) also appears to have a cameo finish. Can anyone point me towards a resource which might help me to confirm if these coins qualify as being cameo finish? I don't want to jump the gun and think I have anything of significant value, but I am pretty sure that I know what I am seeing. Thanks in advance for any assistance which might be offered.

Post a couple pictures of the set along with large obverse and reverse shots of the coins individually. There are plenty of experts that will give you an honest opinion of what you have.

unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 6:51 pm I have found that natural sunlight always trumps artificial light. And since these are still cased (and I intend to keep them that way), the suggested means of taking images of individual coins might not really work. The image does make the half dollar appear to have JFK with a cameo finish, and while it's not the polished look that the quarter dollar or dime have, it's not quite the same as the nickle or penny.
