Kennedy men (and women). Is this Cameo?

I know I paid a lot for this set but I just wanted to ask your opinion on whether or not you think it has a shot at cameo. Of course I realize that you have to see the reverse, but I want to know about the obverse? Is it safe to dip to remove that awful haze? Thanx for your opinion.

    No, because seller uses stock photos...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I don't think it will go cameo. Also the quality dosen't look the best.

    Crap! Oh well. Guess I learned a new lesson. Should't you say if it's a stock photo or not?

    Marty is correct. Staggs uses stock images for their sets. They also sell only the junk on eBay. The good stuff gets submitted for grading.

    There's always room for a new player. Heck I wouldn't have learned so much if it wasn't for you two. So in a way you are fueling me. But I am not greedy (not that you are image ) but all I want to find are some nice cameos for my own set. I don't have a ton to spend on them though so I can't buy them slabbed.

    Marty, who, pray tell, are members of the "expert" club you refer to (besides yourself of course). And what are the eligibility requirements and membership entrance fees, annual dues and special assessments that must be met/paid by club members?

    By the time they finish with their club, almost all the great kennedies would have been picked by them. By then the halves will be worthless because there are too many of them. I bet they have a stockpile just ready to go. Kudos to you!
