Have any slabbed circulation strike coins (other than the 65-67 SMS coins) been given a Cameo design

I understand that some circulation strike coins made from early strikes off of fresh dies have mirrored fields and frosted devices. I have a 1964 dime with mirrored fields and frosted devices, however it is raw. It was sold to me by a local dealer and it sits in my 7070 Album.

Have any of these (65-67 excluding SMS coins) been designated Cameo by a TPG? Since circulation strike Morgans that have this appearance are designated PL or DMPL, they are excluded from this question.

I think NGC may give them a star, and I have seen some NGC Gold that designates a Business Strike as being PL, but it is my understanding that PCGS will not do this. As far as a Cameo, Deep Cameo designation, I have not heard of it.

There are a surprising number of PL circulation issues made most years. I've been
looking through a three gallon bucket of coins and have spotted three or four already.
These vary from highly PL struck from basined dies on a (probably) burnished planchet
to barely Proof Like at all. There are many more PL's in mint sets. A few of these are al-
most indistinguishable from proofs.

But, there are no true cameos in the circulation issues of which I'm aware. There are
a very very few PL's which have a nice even covering of planchet defects which appear
to be cameo at a glance or distance. While the effect is interesting, these wouldn't slab
as cameos. There are some early '90's cents and a few others that appear to have an
extremely light cameo, but again they aren't going to get slabbed.

I would consider many PL and DMPL Morgan dollars to be cameo, but they are not designated as such.

OK, OK - or maybe it's a label error.

or just maybe it's real?

Are you convinced it's really mint state?

Cladking, don't know -- but I would sell it for $10k since it is unique....

oops, wrong forum.
