involved "acid-dipping" coin the dies before they were polished. The solution used during the 1950 to 1970 period, a bath album and supplies consisting of 5% nitric acid/95% water, was used to create an acid-etched appearance on the die. When the die was subsequently polished and buffed, the recessed portions of the die, the devices, retained their acid-etched cameo. The very first strikes off one coin of these new dies would possess a gorgeous, intense cameo effect very similar in quality to the proofs minted today. The raised portions of these early strikes, the devices (on the Franklin half, these would be the bust of Franklin, the lettering, and date on the obverse, and the Liberty bell, eagle, and lettering on the reverse) would display a snow-white cameo effect that would album stand in stark contrast supplies to the deep-mirrored fields surrounding them.

In recognition of the collector demand for these cameos, the mint album began supplies experimenting with sandblasting techniques in the coin early-mid 1970''s which helped create a much more intense cameo effect. They also began chromeplating the dies to give them added durability. As a result of these new album techniques, proof dies today can strike many hundreds of exceptional "black & white" cameos before they begin to wear. What is somewhat astonishing, however, is supplies that if one is patient, and fortunate, one can occasionally find cameos minted from coin the earlier 1950 to 1970 era that possess the intense cameo contrast, quality, and eye-appeal of these later proofs!
