It's a rare and lovely coin no matter what. How much is it worth not graded (raw) The reverse looks much more cam or even dcam then the reverse Thank you   |

I don't think it gets a cameo designation, but it IS beautiful.

Looks like it might be CAM but hard to tell from the photos. Can you show some with the coin on an angle?

One of the best FSB's I have seen.  I think there is a minor cameo effect on the reverse, (definitely not dcam) however, the overall difference of reflective characteristics between devices and fields not enough to call as 'cameo', in my opinion. ' Weak cameo reverse' is about as high as could be justified in this regard. |

The middle band looks to be closed at the center. Very close to FSB, but from what I see in the photo, no FSB. Nice coin...

Whats the fixation on the FSB?
This is a proof coin and bringing that up is futility at it's finest.
OP is asking if it's CAM or DCAM.

I see a beautiful proof strike coin... lovely indeed ... but not enough evidence to say CAM.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Maybe a $120 coin raw. I subbed a raw proof merc that was purchased as a business strike and received a 67. Your coin looks Gem at least.

Hard to grade with the reflection. A beauty for sure, but not CAM.

proof but I don't see a CAM coin either.
lots of glare but i'll go with PF65
raw value wise could be anywhere from $140-180
bands don't mean anything on a PR coin

I'm curious about the gold-colored spots and streaks on the obverse, and also the rainbow fields on the reverse. That looks like aftermarket work to me. In other words, it looks like it wasn't part of the original strike. Am I wrong? I'm wary because I think it's possible someone could've constructed dies in an attempt to turn this into a cameo coin.
