<p>[QUOTE="Metalman, post: 33469, member: 1454"]to me the frosted effect which is present on the lincoln cent is such due to appearance of it actually standing away from the surface of the coin for lack of a better descriptive term, while that of the washington quarter actually has the appearance of a smooth layer,, I agree that they both look similar but in person the cent has demension to the frosted portions.</p><p><br /></p><p>this appearance decreases as the dies are used which in my mind as this occures they become cameo, and lose the stand up frosted appearance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
