<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 71558, member: 112&quot;]Well Speedy, I agree with Frank - I think what you are referring to as a lack of cameo is due to the lighting - not the coin. The cameo effect is created by the texture or frost of the devices and it appears to me it is all there - even if the pic makes it look like it isn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, the age does have something to do with it. But to be more accurate, it&#039;s the dates not the age. Now to some that may not make a lot of sense; but it does if you are familiar with the quality of the Proof coins of the time. Always remember that each date and mint are to be graded differently according to the average quality for that date and mint.

I&#039;ve seen many 66&#039;s that looked far worse. Luster appears to be full and eye appeal - well let&#039;s just say that that golden tone around the edges just sets those coins off !!
