[QUOTE="OldDan, post: 58787, member: 1872"]This isn't always the case, as you can see by the definition given by PCGS; Cameo The term applied to coins, [U]usually[/U] Proofs and prooflike coins, that have frosted devices and lettering that contrast with the fields. When this is deep the coins are said to be “black and white” cameos. Occasionally frosty coins have “cameo” devices though they obviously do not contrast as dramatically with the fields as the cameo devices of Proofs do. Specifically applied by PCGS to those 1950 and later Proofs that meet cameo standards (CAM). The word "usually" is the key here and gives them the wiggle room they need to include other coins besides just proofs. The prooflike coin could also be something other than a proof coin. Maybe this will help. So Yes, steelteddybear you could have a prooflike cent with cameo finish.[/QUOTE]
