I have seen many Franklin proofs but this is the first cameo I have owned. I posted this picture a few weeks ago. I was thinking about getting it slabbed. What do you think ?

    Is that color above the date really there? Or just image artifacts?

    To me the color is cool - I like it. But if it is not there, I agree with Lucy, it needs a bath (and I would send to NCS).

    I'd try MS70 on the haze and milk spots. If that doesn't work, it's probably not worth submitting.

    I've had poor luck with CAM and DCAM Frankies in the current environment.

    If you're bound and determined to get it slabbed, then try MS70 and/or NCS.

    The coin looks DCAM in the pic, NCS is the way to go. If you try dipping it and screw it up you'll never forgive yourself!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I'd NEVER dip it. Only MS70 per the directions and probably diluted at least at first.

    Looks like NCS is the concensus.

    FWIW, I've had some remarkable success with NCS in the past.

    Thats what I'm chatting with him about. No, the colors are in the scan and the capitol holder is crap. So it does look better in hand but I really need help here.
