Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2998657, member: 112"]Your question is quite valid iPen but it's kind of hard to qualify and quantify it given how you have asked the question. If you had asked the question in regard to moderns only it would be easier than what you have done, but still pretty difficult at best. I say that for two reasons. 1 - Cameo varies greatly depending upon the time frame at hand for the coins in question, even among moderns alone. And 2 - it's almost impossible, I would even say is impossible, to compare the cameo of a Proof Morgan to that of a modern Proof. And there's even 2 reasons for that. The cameo effects are/were created by different methods on the two coins, and even business strike Morgans were created to have cameo - not just the Proofs. So, if you are trying to determine if a Proof Morgan is cameo or deep cameo, then you can only compare it to other Proof Morgans, and those from a specific date range because they are not all the same. So to answer your real question, is the Morgan you pictured cameo or deep cameo, again it's almost an impossible question to answer based on pictures because the qualifiers are so subjective. But based on what I can see I'd call it cameo.[/QUOTE]
