A Recap on my 1966 SMS Jefferson w/better pics.

Here, I hope are better blackened fields for the '66 Nickel. Are they better to determine if Cameo or not? Thanks guys!-joey

I REALLY like that coin!
......and if I were you I'd like it whether or not the boys see it as a CAM/DCAM or whatever....
Looks deep enough to DCAM but the blue fields will kill it.
I'd give it a quick diluted dip and see what she looks like afterwards...rinse with distilled water and use wife's hair dryer.

Thank you! Should I use acetone? or Mineral Spirit?

mannie gray

I've had success with just regular dip, MS 70, Jewel Luster, or whatever, diluted with distilled water--I'd try 25%dip/75% water, see what happens, if nothing, mix stronger.
But dip it quick and be sure to rinse well or else you'll get tan spots after a while. I doubt acetone would do anything but if you want to do that first it wouldn't hurt anything.

Looks like a close cam but I doubt it.

I think the obverse will carry it, but what do I know?
They can be rather arbitrary on the CAM designation......

From the pictures, I would say borderline CAM.... I know that in hand it is probably better, so if you are looking for a CAM, it may be worth a try... Be really careful if you do the above dipping, and super rinse it ....pure alcohol followed by distilled water..... gentle, warm air dry. I would not even try a dip myself.... send it in, if it does not get CAM...then maybe try it. Cheers, RickO

it will probably be given the "Cameo" designation and I would not dip it.

I see no problems with a submission as is. Cameo
