Turns out it's a CT member; you'll find this auction linked in our For Sale section.
Well, first, there's nothing resembling "cameo" about this coin. My gut feeling, based on the consistency (which directly contradicts "cameo") and...
You'll be limited a bit by the bulk of the camera with light placement; experimentation is in order. :) Settings for the camera you used on the...
Maybe, if I could see the coin. :) NGC attributes 5 different 1880-S overdates. If they got it right.
