successive coin struck from one of these dies would exhibit somewhat less cameo contrast than the foreign coin before. Eventually, the intense pressure of die on planchet would wear the devices to the same smooth, brilliant coin appearance collecting as the surrounding fields of the coin. These subsequent coins, brilliant proofs, foreign have no discernible contrast between the devices and fields. They are also far more common than the earlier cameo strikes. In recognition of the collector demand for these cameos, the mint began experimenting with sandblasting techniques in the early-mid coin 1970''s which helped create a much collecting more intense cameo effect. They also began chromeplating the dies to give them added durability. As a result of these new techniques, proof dies today can strike many hundreds of exceptional "black & foreign white" cameos before they begin to wear. What is somewhat astonishing, however, is that if one is patient, and fortunate, coin one can occasionally find cameos minted from the earlier 1950 collecting to 1970 era that possess the intense cameo contrast, quality, and eye-appeal of these later proofs! These very early strikes, depending on the year, are obviously quite rare. When one also considers the inferior nature of the proof

devoted to it. Here is one final, very important similarly between the Morgan dollar series and the Cameo Proof series: In foreign and coin and collecting grading prooflike Morgan dollars, the two largest grading foreign and coin services in the nation, PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), collecting offer two grades of prooflike for that series - "DMPL" foreign (Deep Mirror Prooflike) - for the very earliest strikes off the business die, and a simple "PL" (Prooflike) - for the slightly later strikes. PCGS and NGC now offer a similar delineation for all proof coinage from the 1950 to 1970 era. As of early February, 1992, PCGS offers two cameo designations for early strike cameo proofs - "DCAM" (Deep Cameo - roughly equivalent to what we refer to as "ultra-heavy") - for those cameo proofs which were the very earliest strikes off the proof die, with the heaviest coin contrast, and a simple "CAM" (Cameo) designation for those coins which were slightly later strikes, but which still possess significant cameo contrast. NGC instituted their own two-tier collecting system similar to PCGS'' foreign in the spring of 1995. With PCGS and NGC now involved, novices will for the first time have their coins recognized by the most widely used grading service in

the nation. Subsequent coin population reports emanating from PCGS will reveal collecting how very scarce the majority of proof issues are in cameo. With the release of the cameo proof book, and with PCGS'' and NGC''s leap into this market, cameo dealers and collectors foreign will now have accurate, hard data with the release of these services'' grading reports coin to back up what we long-time cameo dealers and collecting collectors have known for years - that exceptional cameo examples foreign of many dates are extremely rare, and are truly among the best values in U.S. numismatics today. Most collectors and dealers are very familiar with BU Franklins. The majority of uncirculated BU Franklin half dollars on the market are extremely baggy, and/or possess very heavy, unattractive brown or gray toning. These are ugly coins. The Franklin design is a work of art in its simplicity. The bust of Franklin on the obverse, and the famous Liberty bell on the reverse, are beautiful when their coin surfaces collecting are clear and unblemished! foreign In addition, many Franklins were issued by the mint in cardboard mint sets. The sulfur from these paper products often created coin some of the most beautifully collecting toned coins in all of U.S. coinage! While rare, gem Franklin halves
