Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 9:47 pm there is 1 Cameo (I am guessing yours) in 67 and one 65 Cameo and 1 Deep Cameo in 67. The strange thing is those are the only three ever been graded by PCGS so yes the 67's are the highest graded by PCGS but maybe only because there has only been 3 of this variety ever graded by PCGS. And as far as I can tell NGC doesn't recognize this variety at all. But if you want to get real technical about it, there is one (the Deep Cameo) graded higher than yours Report this Post to the Staff

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 06/02/2011 05:16 am some of these double dies are getting ridiculous.......need a microscope to even see it and even then I can't see the double die. I like the 55 DDO as its very obvious to the naked eye! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/02/2011 11:34 am This is one of the more obvious LMC DDOs, it is a Large Date hubbed over a Small Date- Class III Design Hub Doubling. Other examples of Class III doubled dies would be the 1960-D Lincoln Small Date over Large Date, 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel, 1918/7-S Standing Liberty quarter, the 1942/1 Mercury dimes, and the 1943/2-P Jefferson nickel.
