picked up a 1952 cameo proof quarter today.

At a shop in colorado. A lovely two sided cameo, but not a super bird.

We really need to get Sanction a camera set up so he can share all these NEWP's, not just taunt us with them!

Back home from my trip.

Tonight I will give the quarter a bath to remove the haze. The coin should really have some "eye appeal" after the bath. I think it will be a great upgrade to my existing best 1952 quarter [which is a one sided cameo].

By the way, there are more than 1 class III doubled reverse dies for the 1952 proof quarters.

Well, I just gave the quarter a bath and the results are very good.

The milky haze that had developed on the coin came off without a hitch. Under the haze is a hairline free, cameo quarter with even two sided frost and deep, watery, black two sided fields. It is much better than my best 1952 quarter [one that has thick white obverse frost, average obverse mirrors, moderate reverse frost and average reverse mirrors].

So my 1952 Cameo proof set took a leap up in quality today with the addition of the new quarter. It now has five coins with frosted devices and black mirrored fields on both sides.

I am quite pleased with my newest cherrypick.

Good work...I appreciate the joy of the pick!
