How do you think this '65 SMS quarter would look out of the cello?

Found this set at a local shop last weekend. Think it's worth destroying the set to get a better look at this guy?

    If it were mine it would have been snipped up within five seconds of arrival.

    It looks fairly nice. you can get a good look at it if you push it around
    inside the cello with your thumb and index finger. That looks like die
    polish by the date which is quite common on the '65 obverse cameos.
    The reverse isn't bad but it's hard to tell if it's cameo from the picture.

    I think it would look marginally better, but not even a cam to me.........if it were hazy and needed a rinse in acetone or ms-70....then I would cut her out...but not that one.
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    That looks like quite a clear cam, you just have to use the Ninjai aura and see through the cellophane.

    looks cam to me. Light cam would be a good designation
