Too bad every single one of them has been harshly cleaned and polished, and several of them have unattractive hazy toning from being in that...
For everyone guessing CAM or DCAM - the cameo must be full across all devices to earn the designation. CAM is allowed minor breaks, but no...
65 by todays standards. Strike and luster hold it back. By OGH standards, I actually wouldn't be surprised to see this in a 64 holder. If its in...
Is he supposed to have eyes of two different colors? I know that is a mutation that some people have, but it is rare.
Impossible to tell with those tiny pics. Please crop the rest of the slab out and show us just the coin.
