    A little background. A few years ago I won a very poorly listed Ebay auction. Bad pictures and description didn't say anything about the coins being proof. I ended up winning for about 50 bucks total (silver was much lower then) a 1954, 1956, and 1957 proof set. Since I got this cheap and I think the 1954 Franklin might get a cameo designation I am thinking of sending it in for grading also.
    Questions on it. I can even tell the Obverse is cameo. Is there a way for myself to tell if it is cameo or deep cameo? It has toning on the rim at 6 o'clock near "In God We Trust". I believe that is probably from the wrap the way the stored them in the proof sets. Does that sound correct?

    Also the 1956 Quarter (top one) looks to be a nice cameo. All and all and nice pick up!

    The obverse looks cam. Don't think the reverse will make it based on the images.

    Thanks. The reverse does concern me. It seems to have a bit of cameo but not enough to get the designation. I will try to take a picture later out of the holder.

    It won't go CAM.

    Yeah..the more I look at the reverse I agree. Looks like the obverse is cameo only. I will put it back in the holder with the other 1954 proofs. Thanks for the confirmation.
