After seeing Ken's two new Kennedy halves, it is time for a cameo half picture post.

Just checked out Ken's thread on two new cameo Kennedy halves he picked up. The coins are stunning. For all forum members who have the ability to post pictures a competition is in order for this Saturday morning.

Please post pictures of your cameo half dollars. The winner can be decided by posts to this thread. The winner gets no prize other than the satisfaction of being declared the winner.

    So far Ken, you are the winner. Obviously light participation on the forums on Saturday morning.
  • Wait till marty gets back from his show today. He will have 20+ cameo coins!

    I suspected that Russ would eventually come around and post a pic. Very nice, as always. Russ, would you please favor the forum with a cameo Frankie and Walker and Barber? [please excuse my blasphemy].
  • Does it have to be a JFK half?


    This one is pretty low grade due to hairlines. But it is cameo. image

    For those of you tired of those PERFECT plastic hollywood cameos, here's a midwestern corn-fed cameo.

    (Actually, just wanted to see if I could photograph a cameo. Coin looks alot nicer NOT under magnification. It's in an NGC PF67CAM holder.)

    And the pictures keep posting along. Great pictures so far. Carl, any cameo half will be ok, the contest is not limited to JFKs. Ken, not fair to post a Liberty Nickel [I like it anyway].

    So far we have pictures of cameo Kennedies, cameo Franklins, a cameo Barber and a cameo Seated Liberty half. We are missing a picture of a cameo Walker [I know pictures of a cameo Walker (i.e. the PCGS 1938 CAM) are out there in cyberspace and that someone can track one down and post it]. Maybe, just maybe we might even get a picture of a cameo half that predates the Seated Liberty series.

    Wouldn't it be great to have in a half dollar type set one of each of the halves pictured so far?

    Keep the pictures coming folks and we can enjoy a virtual cameo half collection.

    TTT with this thread. Since I started the cameo half picture posting contest, I am going to close it in one hour from now.

    Many pictures have been posted. We are still missing a picture of a cameo Walker.

    After the end of one hour from now, please post your votes on who you think posted the winning picture. Whoever receives the most vote by today at 8imagem PDT will be the winner.

    Keep those pictures coming. SanctionII.

    The cameo half picture contest is now closed.

    I like all of the halves that were pictured [I am bummed that we did not get a cameo proof walker picture].
    However, I have to vote for Smittys cameo barber half. You just do not see very many of those and when you do, they certainly get my attention.
  • Sanction,
    I think there are only 1 or 2 KNOWN Cameo Walkers of all years !

    100Proof1957, you may be correct [I have heard that there are 4-6 cameo walkers but I do not know for certain]. I have seen cameo walkers pictured before on the forums. I do not know if any forum members own one. However, I was hoping that someone could track down a picture of one in cyberspace and post it to this thread so that the cameo half virtual collection would be complete and unbroken from the Seated Liberty series through JFK.

    By the way, when I finally get a digital camera and learn how to use it, I am going to take a picture of my 1957 cameo proof cent for you to look at. It is raw and it looks nice to me, however I have no clue what it would slab at at a TPG. SanctionII.
  • I'm voting for the Barber also!

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    I see that additional pictures have been posted after the closing of the contest. Awesome coins [particularly the 1892 half], however the winner is Smitty's Barber half [the only two persons who cast a vote [Ken and yours truly both voted for Smitty].

    I had fun with this thread and enjoyed looking at the pics. Thanks all who participated and thanks to Ken for showing his two new JFK halves that got me going on posting this thread. SanctionII.
