    I sold this coin to another collector and had second thoughts about the sale;
    I upgraded the date for him with my AU 55 duplicate and a few months later
    bought the XF 40 back from him.

    Its one of the nicest circulated cameos I've owned:

    I think there sometimes is a fine line between circ-cam and lightly cleaned.

    You're absolutely right, and not the first to mention this. Here's an Indian cent which lies well over that line, but I still like the look enough to put it into the type set (untila nicer and more original one comes along):

    Steve - I love the clad quarter. I'm carrying around a very dark and crusty 1983-P as a pocket piece trying to wear it down to that look.

    Here's one more, since you posted a the classic commem :

    Here is a new one I recently came across, of a type rarely seen as a "Circ Cam" (and it was cheap).
    I've never been able to read the words on the bell this easily before:

    @dcarr... Now that is an unusual Franklin half.... For some reason, it is uncommon to find them in circ cam. Cheers, RickO
