Possible Cam or DCAM?

Looking at this auciton and the picture do you think it might have a cameo Half, Quarter, & Dime? I bought it for the purple nickel. image

I am just wondering if it might just be the picture but they sure look nice.

    I can't find the reverse pictures - need them both to make it.

    The obverses look like they could but lighting can do funny things to proof sets.

    From the photo's, which can always be decieving, I'd say no. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly suprised!image

    Nope, I don't think they have cam. But I'm curious to see what the nickel looks like in better photo conditions.

    Well Lori, I guess I am in the minority here. I believe that is a scan, rather than a picture. Lots of sellers on Ebay, using scanners, have a difficult time getting accurate contrast when shooting through the plastic. I've purchased plenty of proof sets, that looked about like that in a scan, that produced coins making Cameo at NGC. Though that might not be the strongest contrast on that Franklin, it may well be nice enough to receive Cameo at NGC. Of course, you still have to deal with the reverse?? Quarters are hard to tell due to the rounding of the neck and the convex cheek. Definitely a way above average set for that money! Good luck! image

    Might have a long shot at CAM on a coin or two, but it's hard to say. Definitely not DCAM.

    CAM or no CAM, I agree that you got a nice set for the money.
