Photos are a little dark,copper is even tougher than silver to photo and not re-touch them.

Thanks for the link. I've been desperately seeking a PCI graded deep cameo Lincoln, so I'll add this to my snipe list.

Since it's a no-Cam, I think it's false advertising to mention that cameos from the 1950s are hard to find. That's true, but that implies this coin really is DCAM.

As far as the pictures go, move the light away and just have ambient light--these aren't hard to photograph if there's no harsh, direct light.

Nut,
i switched to a 60 watt incandescent and that was worse,think im going to the camera shop and check some lamps.

As far as being a Cameo,you feel i am obligated to to grade this myself and state that i dont believe its a cameo (even though i disclosed this to you in a pm) ?
everybody knows i cant grade a lick !
It is holdered and i didnt hype it.
maybe i should crack it out and list it as a Brilliant proof 69 ?
i bought this from you know who (coinmovahs) we wont mention names here !
I have learned my lesson !
paid like 40 bucks and was hoping to get 10-20 back.

I think perhaps because this is a democracy,we need about 20 replies to steer me in the right direction !

The Forum shall speak !
You guys tell me what you think i should do and i will abide.
Airplanenut shall be the judge and hand down the verdict.

I certainly dont want to be associated with those other guys !

Russ,

if it sells for a buck,somebody got a decent proof for cheap money.

By saying that cameos are hard to find, you imply that you agree with the grade/designation. It's true they're hard to find, but this ain't a cameo. Is it as bad as saying it's worth $5000? No, but it is hyping a grade you know to be wrong.

I think I see your icon holding a camera in the deep mirror fields.

I agree with airplanenut. You are misrepresenting your auction.

not true !
was hoping to get something to re-holder for a birth-year set.
this just happened to be unsuitable for the purpose.
paid my money and learned my lesson.
