Type 1's are the scarcer of the two, and quite valuable in cameo. However, that coin is not a cameo.

I would agree- chances are slim that that coin actually would make cameo. The reverse in particular seems to have little or no contrast. I'll assume that it truly is a type 1, but the picture makes it really hard to make out......

i think the obverse would go cam,the reverse is shaky at best,and you cant really if it is a type 1
