<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1919459, member: 29751&quot;]There were more than 750 million 2000-P Sacs minted.&nbsp; Various die states and levels of repair can create areas of prooflike surfaces.&nbsp; That is a normal part of the coining process.&nbsp; The fact that some coins have shinier surfaces and others have more frost doesn&#039;t really surprise me, nor should it you.</p><p><br /></p><p>A true &quot;cameo&quot; coin (your word not mine) has nothing to do necessarily with smooth and reflective surfaces.&nbsp; &quot;Cameo&quot; is a term reserved to describe the difference in surfaces <b>between </b>the fields and the devices on a single coin.&nbsp; A coin is generally said to have &quot;cameo contrast&quot; if the fields are glassy and prooflike, while the devices are offset with a frosty or satiny feel.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see <i>any </i>cameo effect on either of your posted coins based on those images -- which is why I asked you to clarify in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
