SMS fans- what do you think of this one?

I just won this from forum member Braddick on ebay, but don't have it in hand- I've had a difficult time finding nicely toned sms jeffs to go with my toned proof jeff collection, so I thought this might be a good pickup- I like the old anacs holders for modern proofs, so that's a little bonus. Does anybody have any good photos of sms toners?

the toning looks nice, hard to tell if it's really a cameo or not by those pics.

In my experience, ANACS old holder coins that got the cameo designation have superb mirrors. Looks like a nice coin, and I like these guys lightly toned. Typically, the field above the dome suffers as a result of the amount of metal dedicated to filling the coat area of the obverse. You can see the edges of the inverted obverse in the reverse fields radiating from the dome to 10:00 and 2:00. They're rare with steps as well. Many, many of these coins have struck-thru's. Looks like your's was pretty well made.

Not a toner, but this 65 illustrates the weakness of the reverse mirror above the dome very well.
