Something I didn't know about grading proof Lincoln Cents.

<< <i>For Cameo proofs on Licoln cents, the graders concentrate on the center devices...the bust of Lincoln on the obverse and the Memorial on the reverse. The letters and numbers are not considered and do not need to be frosty for a coin to be called Cameo.

Posted over in the Q&A forum. I always just assumed that the criteria for cameo was the same on Lincolns as other coins, IE; the lettering also needed at least some frost.

That was definitely not the answer I was expecting, but extremely informative. I'll put that to good use on my next proof submission. Thanks David!
