My personal perceptions of the terms: ACCUMULATION - A large number of coins with a commonality other than date. It could be as general as US...
They're also the areas where many of the high volume sellers are. It's sort of a PowerSellers' rebate. We small time sellers don't get the benefits.
I lucked out. Between the two proof sets only one coin got labeled "cameo". Fortunately it was the '53 half. If there was one coin that would...
One of the strange things aboout all of this is that the last time gold was up close to this level ($850 as I recall in about 1980), silver was at...

The clip looks good, but I don't see any Blakesley Effect. Wait, I think I do, but it's rather weak. I think it's a legit Mint error.
