[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1598618, member: 15929"]Kenndy Proof's in GSA Slabs? Ya lost me. As for purchasing a raw Kennedy Half Cameo coin, be very careful in what premium is paid since the right lighting technique can produce a CAMEO effect when no cameo exists at all. Here's a good example: [ATTACH]224372.vB[/ATTACH] None of the coins above was actually a CAMEO. Another thing to consider with Proof Coins is the fact that hairlines are difficult to detect on a proof coin "given the right camera angle". What I would suggest, is in purchasing an already slabbed CAMEO or DEEP CAMEO Kennedy Proof at current market rates and then carefully cracking it out of the slab for inclusion in your Dansco. A PR67CAM might set you back between $60 and $80 but you can be assured of the Cameo Status. A DEEP CAMEO Kennedy Proof will cost a bit more and I'd never crack out a Deep Cameo Proof for my Dansco as the risk of accidently hairlining it is pretty good.[/QUOTE]
