I like Flying Al's thread titled Post your 1936-1942 Proofs, so I thought I would follow his lead and start a similar thread for the 1950-1964 time period (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 
)
I will start with a Pearlescent Proof Kennedy half (which IMO is a toned Cameo):
Hopefully this thread will have some legs.

Nice Kennedy wow ⇈,
Here's my contribution ⇊ ...
.
Pair of type halves, PR67 and PR68, respectively.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Here is one of my favorites - found in an unopened proof set 20 years ago. The rest are in an album in my signature line below.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
I started this thread with a toned 1964 half; and follow it up with this toned 1950 half:
Here are a few of mine:

Great Satin proofs! I'd love to own such a set. Been searching but they are not easy to find.

One I shouldn’t have sold. Not cameo!
Another one I shouldn’t have sold. Also not cameo. Wrong date for the thread but worth another look.
And one on the way to CACD that should Cam.
Considering I have the six proof issues of 1942 and showed them on the other thread, and considering I have all but two of the proofs issued 1950 through 1964, I will show the first year here (minus one of the missing two):

A new purchase, leaving only one ungraded proof to fill (that being the 1951) in my 1950-1964 collection of proof coins:
OMG! Is that tumor growing out of Kennedy's head or is that the exit wound.
(I should mention that I've enjoyed four Modelo Especials)
