I have found the Abbreviation, but not the explanation.   05-07-2005, 07:59 PM   #2 (permalink) whoopig Senior Member   Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 202 Cameo and Deep Cameo refer to the amount of frost and contrast between the raised devices on a coin and the fields of the coin. The greater the contrast the deeper the cameo effect.   05-11-2005, 01:34 PM   #3 (permalink) davidmoore57 Member   Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Leesburg, Alabama Posts: 30 Another Question Is that what they mean by "Black and White"? I have a 1968 Kennedy Proof set, and when I look at it straight, the flat areas look darker, and President Kennedy looks white, along with all the lettering and date.
