<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 133307, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not sure I understand your questions samjimmy - your pics didn&#039;t show up by the way. But I think you are asking why there is such a difference in between the coins in some Proof sets. The answer is quite simple really. </p><p><br /></p><p>When the coins in these Proof sets were struck with new dies the coins turned out with mirror finish fields and frosty cameo devices. But as the dies wear, these effects lessen until all you are left with are Proof coins with a brillant finish - no cameo &amp; no perfect&nbsp; mirror finish fields. It&#039;s not just the pics - it&#039;s the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way to find the sets with the cameo coins is to search for them. But over the years, so many collectors, who also know this, have picked through the sets so much that finding them anymore is a rare occurrence. For some dates, it&#039;s almost impossible to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
