A 1958 Proof is somewhat RARE, A CAMEO even tougher

  Grab your gloves and a beer and shoot some pics of this bad boy!

  Doesn't it have to be a 68 or above for it to be worth slabbing? I mean, if it was a 67, then it's a 'Meh' and if it is a 66, you lose.
  
  Mishandling when photographing. My biggest fear. I've done it once. I hope I never do it again.
  
  I cannot tell a grade on these even with good pictures. But I would tend to say you would need a rarer coin in the first place to make it worthwhile.

  Over on the left is really nothing.. just some strange reflection ....
  
  definitely not what I am referring to. You really cannot see them easily, at all.
  
  They are very few, extremely light - more of a slight nuisance than anything else.
  
  Just enough to knock the technical grade down a bit. Hope this quick take helps.
  
  If not, I can try again later today.

  Wouldn't swear to it but I think I saw an NGC 67 1958 CAM
  listed in some store with a BIN close to $300.
  
  That's what REALLY got my attention and taking a closer look.

  Well, "BIN"s are meaningless to me until they become a 'completed listing'. I honestly do not believe that is a $275 coin.
  
  Unfortunately, I do not see any completed listings for 1958 proof cameo certified quarters.
  
  I was basing my suggestions off of the prices I saw on the numismedia and PCGS website price guides.
  
  I cannot see the lines you are talking about. Hopefully they are not a series of closely set parallel lines. I hate those.
  
  I managed to put one to a proof kennedy half dollar the other day. That first scratch really sucks!
