Thats a beauty. Looks to have a nice cameo too.

cha-cha-ching

SanctionII · September 11, 2008 9:12AM

Man, I never have any luck finding cameo proofs from the 1950's and 1960's

Great looking coin, definitely a keeper. Congrats on your good fortune. Post picks of the other halves in the group when you can.

SUMORADA · September 11, 2008 9:12AM

Here's another one, not quite as frosty as the first one...........

WinPitcher · September 11, 2008 9:16AM

Nice Sumo, you suck!

coinman420 · September 11, 2008 9:16AM

awesome, no haze or toning. nice score.

Cameonut · September 11, 2008 9:24AM

Nice scores! Just goes to show that there are still nice cameos to be found out there.

I haven't scored like that in about a year, but I haven't been going to any shows lately. I will be going to a show tomorrow where I hope to see something worth buying.

agree. everytime i open a 50s proof set at an antique store hoping
for some good coins i see blah. blah with a retail price tag to boot.

well done! good looking proof.

GoldenEyeNumismatics · September 11, 2008 9:32AM

You suck!

SUMORADA · September 11, 2008 9:55AM

Here's the rest of them....................these came from 10 sets.......

SkyMan · September 11, 2008 10:17AM

JEEZ LOUISE!!! YOU SUCK!!! Talk about a nice run. OK, just to make it worse for me, if you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for that run of proof sets?

coinkid855 · September 11, 2008 10:18AM

You have GOT to be kidding me.

You REALLY suck!!

-Paul

ksteelheader · September 11, 2008 10:19AM

In all sincerity, I see frost breaks on each of those coins. Either that, or the pics make it look so.

SUMORADA · September 11, 2008 10:24AM

I agree, ! think 1-2 may make UC ATS, and maybe 3 others will cam, I will post the results when they come in.

SUMORADA · September 11, 2008 10:44AM

lope208 · September 11, 2008 10:48AM

Wow, the lettering on the bell looks like an excellent strike! Usually it's so freaking mushy!

Although, come to think of it, I don't look at too many Frankie proofs, I assume they are generally more well struck.

BlackBeard · September 11, 2008 11:33AM

Awesome score! I haven't had that luck with the cameos so far.

KISHU1 · September 11, 2008 11:42AM

Beautiful! What kink of camera setup are you using to get those great shots?

Thanks
I have a little 2 year old Sony Cyber Shot 5.1 3X zoom and a 60w desk lamp.......

MORGANHUNTER2 · September 11, 2008 12:00PM

Eric- play with the lighting a bit. I honestly think the 1st one is a dcam and a solid 68 from the looks of it.
That bad boy has fire in his eyes and send er in for the the full intent of PRESERVATION. If not I want it..

ClosedLoop · September 12, 2008 3:41AM

Those are baeuties,were these sets sealed or opened?

SUMORADA · September 12, 2008 3:44AM

sealed....

keets · September 12, 2008 4:29AM

to be honest, i see PR/PF67CAM for a few, but anyone who seriously thinks DCAM/UCAM is being overly optimistic. my suggestion to you is to leave them sealed, only removing the 2-3 which should garner the Cameo designation. sometimes the hairlines/planchet flaws can be hard to detect through the cello, but with patience and a strong light you'll be able to see them.

lasvegasteddy · September 12, 2008 4:32AM

hey eric,
you just continue to rack these you sucks or you suck lights and you'll make "grandmaster" oneday

coindudeonebay · September 12, 2008 4:52AM

Very nice, easy cams there.

cladking · September 12, 2008 5:12AM

Nice haul.

It's great to have some good luck once in a while.

PawPaul · September 12, 2008 6:06AM

In my book ; this would make you one of the greatest suckers to have ever sucked

I crown you Sir Suckness of Suckland

bushmaster8 · September 12, 2008 6:21AM

Geez eric! You sure do get a lot of neat stuff walking in, especially considering you ain't even a coin shop but, rather, a jewer...ahhh, jeweler!

Keep on sucking!

(And pay no attention to that man behind the curtain [keets].

SUMORADA · September 12, 2008 6:27AM

Geez eric! You sure do get a lot of neat stuff walking in, especially considering you ain't even a coin shop but, rather, a jewer...ahhh, jeweler!

These came from a phone call, I bought 90 some sets from 1956-1964..only 10 sets were 58's...nothing much in the others, the best part was I swapped him GW ms64 "smoothies" for them.

edited to add.....the jewelry business is in the dumpster right now.

keets · September 12, 2008 6:43AM

i never hide behind anything, especially curtains!!!

Elynn · September 12, 2008 6:58AM

Chinese fakes.

rbalderman1 · September 12, 2008 7:03AM

How much did you pay for all 10 sets?

SUMORADA · September 26, 2008 7:26AM

All proofs will have great strikes

coindudeonebay · September 26, 2008 7:30AM

Yep, ...................................YOU SUCK

Congratulations on finding such great looking Cameo Franklins.

Skyman, what do you think about these 58 Frankies (your favortie year)?

SanctionII · September 26, 2008 7:59AM

So what are the pops for 68CAM and 69CAM 1958 Proof Franklins? Also what is the current value range of same?

Also, when you get the coins back from the TPG, post pics of the 69 and the best 68 (with the grades covered) so we can try to decide which one is which.

Darn the sucking going on in this thread is creating a vortex in my office

JustaRookie · September 26, 2008 8:08AM

Very nice score for sure! No doubt that it's worth a "you suck" award!

bushmaster8 · September 27, 2008 12:10AM

<< <i>btt for grades......... >>

Hehe...Sumo got so excited he couldn't even type!

Congrats suckie!

Edit: After looking at a keyboard and seeing the "b" is not adjacent to the "t", I guess that btt is "brought to top".

On the other hand, maybe it wasn't his finger that accidentally banged the "b".

Got lucky with some 1958 Proof sets today........Updated...Grades are in !
