Kennedy proofs

My unc Kennedy set is complete but now I'm working on proofs. I know little of them. There is Deep Cameo, Cameo and what else? How do I know visual differences?

    Most of the post '82 issues will be deep cameo. Look for earlier ones that look like these.

    Watch for full detail and clean surfaces and designs. Look for fresh dies as well.

    Usually you'll just have to look at a few proof sets to find a nice coin but if you want
    DCAM and high grades they can be quite elusive especially on the earlier issues. The
    cheapest way to get a nice set is to hand select later dates and buy the earlier ones
    just below the highest grades. If you have the inclination then just start looking at a
    lot of proof sets.
