new Prussian, and a question..........

I picked this up recently for what i consider a great price:
(terrible pictures from a flatbed scanner, BTW. i'll probably have some MarkView pics done of it soon)

in looking at NGC's census for this coin, i notice the following: there are 22 coins of this exact type grade in Proof, but only 2 with the 'cameo' designation, with this being the higher of the two grades. Can someone tell me the population of this coin in cameo and deep cameo (if applicable) for PCGS? just curious to see how many of these are out there

thanks much!

Doug

    Doug:

    PCGS pops show no cam or dcam, but they fail to mention many that are one or the other. Total is 8, with the highest one 66 (I own it). I don't think the NGC pop report is correct, since I know of at least one PR66Cam and maybe a 67Cam or DCam. Preussen can give you a better idea, since I think he has a fewimage3Mark

    Very nice coin image

    I currently have this one in (all NGC) Proof 65, 66 and 67, but none with the cameo designation. I felt the PF66 should have been labeled as cameo, but for whatever reason, it wasn't. -Preussen

    There is more cameo contrast on the reverse than is apparent in the pic.

    thanks! yeah, i've heard NGC and PCGS pop reports for the darkside stuff shows some holes, so i would be surprised if this was the top pop. the others you were speaking of that have the cam or Dcams, were you thinking Preussen or someone else? thanks!
