weak cameo?

From the pictures this just doesn't seem to me to be a deep cameo.

Wow, what's deeper cameo than this?

Looks as deep a cameo coin from those pictures as I've seen of any other DCAM coin.

The shield doesn't look right to me.

We all know that there are different degrees of cameo/ultra cameo contrast depending on the state of the dies. At some point in the sequence of striking coins, they go from ultracam to cameo. Same with PCGS deep cameo to cameo. At this point, it is a grey area as to how the TPG's will grade the piece. Some days it is an ultra, other days a cameo.

It is always a bit difficult making meaningful statements about cameo contrast from photos unless the coin is a moose. Mirror depth is also critical. Looking at the coin in question (and knowing that Heritage usually has crummy pics), it looks to me that it makes ultra cameo, but not by alot. I would also question whether this coin would make deep cameo at PCGS if cracked out, based on those photos IMHO.

I've seen pictures of cameo's that looked liked SUPER DEEP CAMEO'S, and Deep cameo's that didn't even look cameo in the picture. The lighting makes all the difference....

weak cameo?
