    This is going to be a short threadimage

    I hope you do the impossible and get a cameo designation (both sides of the street are difficult). That would be awesome.........MJ

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Just how short you ask? Current PCGS populations from CoinFacts.

    1936 - ZERO
    1937 - ZERO
    1938 - 2 CAM
    1939 - 2 CAM
    1940 - ZERO
    1941 - ZERO
    1942 - 3 CAM

    Good luck Marty, surely you know how tough of an order that submission is; but if I'd trust anyone's eye, it'd be yours.

    That nice frosty sun is what gets the cameo. If the sun looks dark like the fields, then no cameo. That's my understanding, and that's why there are so few.

    Well that's one down.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Good question Lee, I'd guess displacing one of those ZERO's would be a pretty hefty feat.

    That is one of the most beautiful coins there is. Thanks for posting a pic.

    Just think if there was one in DCAM stuck somewhere long forgot about in a sock drawer. And what if that person was my grandmother would wants to give all of her coins to her grandson? Hey, I can dream can't I?

    This coin I picked up is not a cameo but it has a pretty cool black and white effect with frost. It needs a new holder. PCGS/CAC 67.
    I would love to own a cameo. MJ

    Tell us the year of the coin you submitted Marty and when you get the coin back post a picture of same.

    I have seen some 1942 proof Walkers with a cameo look. I have one of these coins. The obverse of the coin has forsted devices [not the sun] but the frost is moderate at best. The reverse has frosted devices and the frost is much thicker than the obverse, so thick that I think the reverse should warrant a Cameo designation.

    As for Skyman's 1938 Cameo half, it is a beast. The pictures of it that have been posted on the forums over the years are great, but the pictures pale in comparison to holding it in your hand. He has brought it to the Santa Clara show a number times for show and tell. I have been lucky to be able to see his half dollar in person.

    Cams are tough in this series.
    Got a 42 with a lot of black and white contrast but the sun will keep it out of a CAM slab. The reverse is possibly a DCAM though and I love the look of this reverse.
    Sorry for the 100 year old pics, got to get it out of the box and re-image someday.

    IIRC, Poorguy (Brandon) used to have a couple kicking around. Speaking of him, the boy is AWOL from here.

    BB for a scratch. I checked it over and over before I left and there were no scratches or marks at all. Waiting for the return...
