<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1372653, member: 112&quot;]Very few Proofs made before 1973 will have the cameo effect. But, for every date, back to the beginning, there are some examples that are cameo. </p><p><br /></p><p>All Proofs, from the beginning - with the exception of the matte and satin Proofs - were designed to be cameo. But as a die wears the cameo effect fades until there is no cameo effect at all. And the mint didn&#039;t care, they would keep right on using the dies producing Brilliant Proofs with no cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1973 that changed. And when the cameo effect began to wear the dies were replaced and new ides used while the worn dies were resurfaced. They were then used again until they could no longer be used at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
