I keep hoping to find one of those some day just waiting to be plucked from its proof set home, but has not happened yet.

I have always wanted one of those but not at the levels they bring, I rather have another really choice 1840o 5$ broad mil

That's the ideal coin to have in front of you when having "Frosted Flakes" for breakfast.

I wish my DDR had heavier frosting that was sufficient to warrant a Cameo designation. I was very fortunate to purchase three OGP 1961 sets (one of which had a knockout Cameo dime; and the other two of which had frosted half dollars), one of which contained the DDR half.

Both coins in the thread appear to have genuine frost. There appear to be a few spotting issues with the reverse of the 67CAM, but I don't think it's fake frost. I'd need better pictures to be certain.

I’ve flipped over thousands of 1961 Proof halves and have never found this DDR. It is truly a rarity, especially in CAM. The closest I’ve to a significant proof Franklin find was a 1952 DDO in the OGP, and that was years (and hundreds of sets) ago.
