Can you please help me discern the difference in degrees of frost by sending me pictures of your coins in both cameo and deep cameo in pcgs holders.

    I collect these as well. Nice coin.
    In my non expert view, it looks like a nice typical cameo to me. If only one side is Dcam and not the other, it will not get a DCam designation by the better grading services, but still may sell at a premium due to the one side being more dramatic. In my view the reverse on this is definitely only cameo—the obverse is better. Would be interesting to find out from PCGS if there is an objective way they do this. I think it is just the graders’ huge experience of seeing so many that allows them to distinguish Cam from Dcam but I don’t know
