[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 267476, member: 2486"]Hello folk's. Many years ago back in the 80's I collected the Cameo Proof coins from 1950-1964 cent thru 50 cent. I am ashamed to say that today all that remain are the penny's 1953 thru-1964, nickles 1950-1964 (only missing the 1952) and dimes 50-64. I have been trying to get good images of the nickles for a while and I just cant capture the beauty and color of them to save my life. all of them are golden toned except for 3 which are electric blue, 2 of them a very light multi-color cameo. I have them all in a capital plastics holder and look them over often. I do not want to toot my own horn, but these coins are beautiful with deep strikes. I took them to a show in Boston and showed them to a dealer, he called over a few of his buddies to check them out. I was asked by 3 dealers if I wanted to sell. The nickles are striking, the cents are deep and light red/orange with nice deepstrikes. I wonder what will happen to them when the new 2009 commem cent come out? I will attempt to image them again in the future and post them here for you all to see. Regards, RickieB[/QUOTE]
