<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 4226568, member: 74624&quot;]Since it&#039;s been two days since I posted the proof Lincoln I&#039;ll reveal that it did get a star by NGC.&nbsp; I agree with physics-fan3.14 that that several weak spots in the frost (in the front of Lincolns coat) most likely kept this coin from grading DCAM.&nbsp; However, when comparing it to most other cameos, this one stands out at the top, and deserving of a star, IMO.&nbsp; I kind of look at the star as a green bean; it is at the top end of its grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking at a lot of cameo proof Lincolns lately and am disappointed at many cameo designated examples from both of the top TPGs; either coins lack enough frost on the devices or the fields are marginally mirrored.&nbsp; There is such a wide spread of both in many slabbed cameos.&nbsp; Considering the price difference between cameo and ultra cameo graded 1950-1964 examples (all series), cherry picking the best cameos can save one a lot of money.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1081437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1081438[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
