The images don't show what the actual coin looks like. I will assume a cameo based on the description. However, because of the spotty toning and the hit to the head I'm going with Proof 64 Cam. The first two images make the coin look like it has milky haze but, those images make the coin look really bad. The second set are better, and the coin may be a killer cameo but, without an actual photograph showing the coin in it's natural state it's a tough one to grade. The toning spots in the images of the half dollar may not be as distracting as they seem. Can you provide actual photographs of the coin? Please understand my meaning as far as image verses photograph. Those are two different things. The first picture I'm posting of a 1804 dollar is an image. The second picture I'm posting is a photograph.
absolutely beautiful... I didn't take a shot at the grade on this one as I had no idea how to call it
Sorry but I think the coin changed after it was put in the slab. If the coin looks like the last picture, you posted I have to stick with Proof 64 Cameo. I think the coin degraded in the slab. Did you take the picture or is it a picture the seller took? The picture of the coin in the slab doesn't look right. I have a 1921 Peace dollar very well struck graded MS 63. It looked great when I got it. However, a few years after I got the coin changed in the PCGS slab. Now it has an ugly spot growing on the reverse and is developing some odd toning on both sides. Most likely the dollar was dipped before it was slabbed but not properly rinsed. So anytime I see a coin with milky haze like yours I suspect chemical exposure. You may want to consider sending it to NGC for evaluation. They may be able reverse what's going on. If I'm right that coin will continue to degrade unless the problem is corrected.
