Judging the quality of the cameo effect based on pictures is very hard to do. In hand, it's a good bit easier, but still not exactly easy. Just like grading it is something that requires a certain skill level and a great deal of experience. And, learning how to correctly interpret pictures, especially those of cameo coins, is another one of those things that requires that skill level and experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it is only normal when judging your own coins for a certain level of positive bias to slip into the equation.
