  ... shot from a mile away.

  Cropping is your friend.

  On the plus side, nice cameos on a couple of those!

  The cameo effect is fantastic. The kitchen or desktop counter looks fantastic too.

  All these are fantastic! Nice score.
  The 1963 is "creme".
  I vote the 1959 . It is soooo hard to get that nice full cameo on both sides.
  PS. If you click on the images, you get nice detailed views

  I believe I would send the '52, 58, 59, and 63 in to our host with a request for a conservation opinion on the '52. Even though relatively common, the '63 is awesome. I love these kind of 'widgets!

  I'm not sure that Ben, Ted, George, Frank, Abe or Tom would like being referred to as 'widgets'

  Some great coins Kevin.

  1. Bummer the reverse of the 1952 Franklin doesn't look like the obverse.
  2. The 1957 looks to be a solid CAM.
  3. That first 1958 is great, don't think your fields quite get you to DCAM, but as you know, a nice CAM grade is a good score for the date.
  4. You and those darn 1959's! I'm still looking for one to bump my PR68 from my set, except for the milkspots yours is a beauty.
  5. The 1961 looks to have a shot at DCAM, but I think your obverse fields hold it back.
  6. Unfortunately, it looks like your 1962 has that hazy film that I haven't figured out to get off...apparently neither have you.
  7. The 63 Franklin is a gem, I haven't been able to top 67 DCAM on any of mine, and yours looks to be a DCAM, PCGS has been real tough on these with any sort of spotting, it drops to a 66.
  8. The '64 Kennedy looks like a nice coin, might not even make CAM though, obverse frost looks light.
  9. I just can't leave a 68-70 Kennedy behind if it has heavy frost, not sure your 1970 makes DCAM though.
  10. I like the 66 Washington, but they've been real hard on these lately, don't see it getting a CAM these days.
  11. I'd like to see the 59 Washington after a bath to see how the obverse cleans up.
  12. The 64 isn't a tough coin, but I don't think yours makes DCAM.
  13. If the 57 cleans up with a dip, it looks to be a beautiful coin.
  14. The 58 Roosevelt looks to be extraordinary, DCAM is tough for that date, IMO yours has a good shot.
  15. I suspect your 52 quarter won't clean up real well, if it does it has potential.
  16. Your 57-59 Jeffersons are nice coins, not sure the 57 will make CAM.
  17. The 51 Lincoln looks to be great, I'd love to see how it cleans up with the haze removed.
  18. The 56 Lincoln is also an underappreciated coin, that's pretty hard to find in CAM, yours may have DCAM potential if the reverse is all there.

  Looks like a blast of a day with a nice harvest. Congrats on plucking these beauties from the wild.

  Don.

  Thanks for your insight and opinions.

  I have been lucky in finding 1959 half dollars that are possible cameos over the years. Similar to your luck in finding 56-58 cameo nickels.

  The 63 half is the best of the coins I picked up at thg he show. It upgraded my best 1963 set.

  The 62 half may possibly warrant a cameo designation due to the reverse. It does have haze, which looks ok and gives it character.

  Of the minors the 58 dime is the best.

  Nice pickups! Would love to see them in hand.
  From the pics, I like the 59 and 63 halves. One the dimes ('58?) looks great.
  I also think the 66 quarter has some potential - tough date for cameos.

  These days I wouldn't find all those in a year unless I got real lucky.
  Thanks for posting the pics.
