[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 3217321, member: 85675"]68DCAM was my gut instinct before I saw your post. Awesome coin all around! I’m not certain if the frosty contrast is there enough for DCAM/UCAM but looks cameo to me (at least by the photos). I don’t collect these so maybe someone else who does can chime in with how they assess Jeff nickels specifically. Per NGC: For a proof coin to be labeled CAMEO by NGC, it must display contrasting fields and devices on [I]both sides[/I]. For the ULTRA CAMEO designation, it must have superior contrast on [I]both sides[/I]. One-sided contrast will not earn a coin the CAMEO designation, though it may be acknowledged for its superior eye appeal through application of the NGC Star designation (this is explained more fully below). Likewise, coins that have ULTRA CAMEO contrast on their obverses only will not be so labeled, but their premium value may be recognized through application of the NGC Star.[/QUOTE]
