[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 33422, member: 1258"]I believe that "frosted" indicates the white devices in a proof (I have actually also seen it on some BU coins); "cameo" technically means a higher relief design. I think it is possible to have a cameo that is not frosted but a higher relief coin in contrast to the field than other proof coins. I have seen frosted proof cents and high, sharp relief proof cents with no frosting. Therefore, I think the description "frosted cameo proof" would indicate a frosted, high relief design in contrast with the field - the same as a deep cameo. Anyone who disagrees, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.[/QUOTE]
