Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2733300, member: 69760"]Sure, it's a bit hard to get the lighting right, since it distorts the cameo effect somewhat but here it is below. I think that a lot of the marks are die polish marks and definitely some haze/toning that's been lighting scratched (micro hairline rubs that seem to touch only the haze and not the coin itself in many parts - most evident in last angled photo). The reverse memorial building is hard to see the cameo effect, but if I angle the view with the camera, it shows up better. I think that it helps that the mirroring is rather deep, which helps to build that contrast better. It's certainly not a strong cameo, but there's a strong relative difference. I'm going to give it an acetone bath followed by a xylene bath, then acetone again to see if the haziness will go away and look more like the fields inside of the "O" in ONE CENT.
