<p>[QUOTE=&quot;schatzy, post: 526846, member: 17401&quot;]<font face="Book Antiqua">A deep cameo coin will have a mirrored background (fields) with a heavy frosting on the images (devices).&nbsp; These are beautiful coins, which appear to have a black background with white frosty images.&nbsp; A cameo will have a slightly less frosty appearance on the images. There won’t be a strong of a contrast as the deep cameo but it is still noticeable. A brilliant proof will show the images and fields with a mirrored finish. You will not see much contrast between the images and the fields. An additional consideration for deep cameo and cameo coins is that they must have the same contrast on both the obverse and reverse of the coin. It is not</font> <font face="Book Antiqua">unusual to see a coin</font> <font face="Book Antiqua">with a nice cameo on the obverse and a brilliant finish on the reverse. These types of coins won’t carry a cameo designation by a reputable grading company. </font></p><p><font face="Book Antiqua">Modern technology allows the mint to produce more deep cameo coins then ever before. You will still run across late date proofs that have a cameo and brilliant finish. So these days finding a late date proof with a deep cameo appearances is not that rare. </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
