[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 185015, member: 3813"]Can I borrow your hair splitter? ;) I know what you are saying, and I've seen some that could have gone either way, but I think in this case... it's a cameo. Note that if it's "a matter of degree" then that leaves a whole subjective, undefined area of incorrectness wide open. I know what cameo means, what it looks like, etc., and I think it's reasonable to expect the grading companies do too. Now, I understand that a grader might feel that a particular cameo is "deep" (again, subjective) and give it that designation (we could argue all day as to the exact point where it becomes "deep") but to leave off the cameo designation on a coin that is a cameo is ridiculous IMHO. If you're so inclined, call it a "shallow cameo" :D[/QUOTE]
