Brilliant Proofs have deeply mirrored fields and they are not cameo in any way shape or form.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a coin to be considered cameo or deep cameo you have to have mirrored fields AND frosted devices. A coin cannot be considered cameo if either is missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The term comes from ages ago, a cameo was a piece of jewelry. It was usually a lady or man&#039;s head/bust carved in a white or very light colored piece of material and then set into a darker and very smooth piece of surrounding material. <a href="http://cameojewelry.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cameojewelry.com/" rel="nofollow">Cameo Jewelry</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That is where the term comes from. And as you can see, it is the contrast between the devices and background that creates the effect. It is the same thing with coins. The devices will appear white and the background as black if you tilt the coin just so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
