Think this dime can go CAM in this 51 PS?

Nice looking dime in this set. Think it has a shot at CAM? I will try to get better pics of the dime up here.

  • It looks kinda 'iffy' to me. Don't get me wrong, I like the way it looks and some frosting is clearly evident (to my eyes, at least), but is there enough for a CAM grade? I have some quarters with similar looking frosting on them, and they didn't get a CAM designation. image

    The reverse is easily Cameo. Are there any breaks in the frosting on the obverse? It sure seems to be worth the cost of a submission. Good luck!

    Looks like breaks in the frost high on his cheekbone, just infront of his ear and at the back of his neck. Who knows though...it's worth a shot right.
  • Shoot that baby to a coin grading service.... whats the worst that can happen...

    I'd go ANACS on this one.... you might have a hard time getting a CAM outta PCGS on this one.... (I know that I have anyways).... image

    The dime definitely has a shot at cameo. No doubt about the reverse, it's strong for a 51. If the frost breaks on the obverse aren't any more significant than what I see in your pic, then you have a cam. Good luck with it!

    i still think that if a coin was minted as a cameo then by golly its a cameo.
    so a cameo has some tiny frost breaks,okay,knock it down a point but
    why deny it cameo designation for that?
