    It's hard to tell whether or not it would get the CAM/DCAM designation, but you can definitely see a lot of CAMness there.

    My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

    Best way to tell is to lay the coin flat in neutral lighting, and look directly down at it. Judge the frost, make sure there are no "frost breaks" or areas of weakness in the frost, and make sure there is sufficient "depth" to the fields. If you have to squint or say "welll......maybe" then chances are good you do NOT have a cameo.

    Thanks alot... looks good no breaks in frost .It could have been a little deeper but should passimage I was worried about the bell having breaks in the frost. It passes the test. Mr. Franklins head could be a bit deeper, although not as deep as the bell, yet no breaks in the frost..

  • The picture simply isn't good enough to get a clear idea of a grade.

    It would just be a shot in the dark to attempt a guess.

    Sorry.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    There is no way to estimate grade or cam/dcam status from the picture presented.....
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
