<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2998533, member: 69760"]The language used for assigning various levels of cameo on proofs in many of the grading guides and from the TPGs, are vague and "self-evident", at least from what I've read. But if we were to get more particular with the cameo designations, and assuming that the chart below is accurate (or at least based on graded examples), is the range for deep cameo at say, 75% to 100% device coverage with no mirrored surfaces on the devices? Is cameo the next say, 25%? And the rest are either not assigned a cameo, or given ★ grades to say, 49% and 74% coverage? </p><p><br /></p><p>In reality, graders probably just eye it and know from experience (esp. given the time constraints of measuring every single modern proof that comes in the door, right?). Then, what would you say this proof Morgan dollar <i>should</i> be assigned as?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>(The last one in the Cameo row doesn't actually look Cameo.)</i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741342[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/VKwAAOSwLI1aaFUu/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SrAAAOSwJc9aaFUx/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
