<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1352321, member: 29751&quot;]I have found that many of the very modern proof US coins have absolutely pervading cameo effect.&nbsp; The cameo is above and beyond anything that was observed even in the 1990s and certainly before.&nbsp; The cameo effect is two-fold.&nbsp; Firstly, the fields have a liquid/glassy appearance.&nbsp; Secondly, the devices have a frosty or satiny appearance.&nbsp; This juxtaposition creates a very striking image indeed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just wanted to share a few images of a 2011-S Lincoln cent, graded PR70DCAM by PCGS.&nbsp; You can see the cameo effect, and with some zooming (shown) you can see the little &quot;nodules&quot; that give the modern proofs more of a satiny or grainy cameo than their older counterparts.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]156992.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]156993.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]156994.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]156995.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
