1959 Franklin PCGS PR67 PQ+ PCGS FAILED TO NOTE (CAMEO Item number: 360055479972
I'm not good at uploading the pics to this one, but I can see why it was not labeled as a cameo.
Anyone else care to chime in?
Is the seller a member here????

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
94% feedback, enough said.

<< <i>Appears to me that there are a few milk spots starting to grow on the coin. Hard to photograph coins and show the true cameo effect, but I don't see it. >>
He probably did not wash off all of the E-Zest trying to get this to CAM the first time. And now he is paying the price. Ooops.
I tend to agree with the comments about the certain lack of frostiness to warrant a cam designation, and I being a nice guy(buyer) made the seller a righteous offer ($80.00), I know somewhat high for a 67, but seller is adamant that its a cam and worth at least 429 !?
I told him flat- resubmit and IF you get the cam on it I would buy it at his ask price of 429. Instead I get the usual blah blah blah. I saw the 94 feedback and took this into consideration as well. but for some reason I have seen this seller post here or on the BST before. (at least my mind said so).
I'm still thinkin its a solid 67 no cam.

Nuther one.
This Kennedy Cameo'ed. BTW, it looks much nicer in hand than this scan.
The whole point being that if that Franklin qualified for a cameo, PCGS would have given it therefore I could only conclude that the coin was photographed under conditions that specifically optimize the contrast between the devices and the fields.
The name is LEE!
<< <i>Marketing hype, end of story. You would need cataracts to see that as a cameo. >>
I agree with the hype part, but dammit man- my glasses aint that foggy!
I'm waiting for a response from the seller- hell maybe he will come here and discuss why it should be a cam. He sent me his biz number mebbe I'll call him later to hear his BS.
I've personally seen this guy try to sell a lot of coins as "Failed to Note" or other words to that effect. And tends to start the bid as if the coin had the designation. The mirrors are nice though and the frost is decent... just not enough. If you want a coin of the same quality, I have one you can buy for 30 bucks. Nice cameo, but not enough to get the grade. Of course, 59 halves are very rare in cameo and considered to be a semi key.
And yes, to agree with another poster, the right lighting will make a lot of coins look like a cameo even with minimum contrast.
1959 near cameo half!
Guess i'm much better off with how I choose quality coins from a numistmatist/dealer/buyer/seller/collector.
It sucks when ya call out a scumbag- I hate being a jerk at times.

I hate those milk spots that seem to be starting, as another crazy old man from Missouri noted.
