The coins were not purposefully struck with cameo finish, but rather a brilliant finish across the entire coin except for the first few coins struck with the dies. But during this period they did not change out both obverse and reverse dies at the same time and so quite often you will see coins where one side is deep cameo, but the other is brilliant, or semi-brilliant and these coins would grade with a PF grade and possibly a star or a plus for the eye appeal of the cameo side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Half and Quarter are only deep cameo on one side.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
