    Sending this back in for designation review. The mirrors on it are insane.

    Should know the results within a couple weeks. I believe this is a NGC 7 slab. I think it was between 1997-2000 era slab.

    I don’t see why not. Killer coin.

    Very nice coin but I don't see it as a cameo.

    I’m not seeing anything suggesting it deserves it. No offense or anything, and with the understanding the photo nor video are ideal.

    I agree. The Cameo ones usually have a frosted look on the mirror surfaces

    Exactly what do you think a cameo is?

    I think you are wasting your money to sending it to be recertified. I doubt it will come back any different. It is a beautiful coin though.

    That is a great example of a deep cameo coin.

    Definitely a CAC candidate, but not cameo, IMO.

    Beautiful proof Merc., but I voted no on the cameo.

    It definitely isn't a cameo but if the mirrors are amazing and it's just missing the frosted devices could get a star. Good luck

    Nice proof, but I'm not betting on cameo based on the pix.

    I think the reverse deserves cameo but the obverse does not, I say it should get a star designation.

    Getting a Cameo for the 1936-42 Proof coins is very hard. I have a 1939 Proof dime that has a Cameo look. It's in an NGC holder and does not have it. I don't think that it's worth the money to try.

    The application of the Cameo designation is very inconsistent in my opinion. This 1898 Dime did not get a Cameo.

    This 1869 Dollar does have a Cameo.
