Gee....I hate to spoil this nice thread with my common coins......
But I just finished my "Birth year" cameo proof set. (I suck at photos of cameos, so you'll have to settle for a macro pic):
Actually, I "finished" it quite awhile ago, but the ICG PR-69 cameo dime pretty much sucked. The NGC PR-69 CAM Roosey came from teletrade today!! Done with cameo proofs for awhile.....
<< <i>You know, I hadn't thought of doing that. I've got a 1955 (birth year) Proof set, But doing something in Cam would be cool. >>
It was fun! '55 might be a different story, but mine cost under $45 per coin, (much under in some cases), and it makes a nice set. I guess it would be better in one type of holder......
I would like to do a birth year set, but somehow, a 1975 Proof Set in cameo just doesn't seem to do it!

All Awesome Coins. I may have to start my 57 Birth Year Set now. Baby Boomers Unite. Russ has this picture taking down to a "Fine Art"! Actually, his coins look like "Fine Art". Heres one I picked up from him:
Here's an old favorite, one of my first cameo proof cherrypicks after finding this forum. Graded PF67CAM at PCGS.

I think that this is the only Cameo designated coin that I have in my collection. I feel that the beautiful blue and brown two-sided peripheral toning really makes this coin unique.

1955 is an excellent vintage.

It does look pretty good, but the 1966 is a lot more valuable.
