TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 08/12/2009 6:51 pm I've got it narrowed down to these 2 photos. Which one is best and most representative of the Deep Cameo, Proof 69? Photo # 1 Photo # 2 Report this Post to the Staff

Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 08/12/2009 7:14 pm From the two pics I would have to say #1 shows more of the cameo contrast. Shows more of the dark fields than pic 2. At least in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

But #2 shows more detail on the hair. So would the cameo contrast be more important than the detail, and does #1 show the Proof 69?

TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 08/13/2009 3:43 pm Quote: what is deep cameo According to the forum glossary, Deep Cameo is the term applied to coins, usually Proofs and prooflike coins, that have deeply frosted devices and lettering that contrast with the fields - often called "black and white" cameos. Specifically applied to those 1950 and later Proofs that meet deep cameo standards (DCAM). Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse is a slight variation of the photo in my first post. Any opinions on whether the reverse clearly shows the Deep Cameo, Proof 69? Report this Post to the Staff

JeffsCoins New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/15/2009 8:48 pm I love Kennedy half dollars and that one is really nice, but Numismedia puts it at $2190.00. I have several higher end coins, but I'm not sure if I'd want to spring more than 2 grand. Report this Post to the Staff

JeffsCoins New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/15/2009 9:35 pm Dkillett has it the other way around. He said #1 shows more of the cameo contrast and more of the dark fields than pic 2. Report this Post to the Staff
