When I joined the forums in 2004 there were regular posts about Cameo Proof and SMS coins. Not anymo

........... and I kind of miss seeing threads on that topic. Some great pictures of some great coins posted by some great forumites (some of whom are no longer around, or who do not post much anymore).
So to take a walk down memory lane, how about a few pictures of some Cameo Proof and SMS coins (I would not mind seeing Russ's tower of 1964 Cameo Kenndy halves again, or the 1965 SMS Set of DHeath that had 4 and possibly 5 Cameo SMS coins in it, or the 1966 MS 68DCAM half made by one of our forum members).
My favorite is a 1950 Cameo or DCAM half, followed by a similar 1959 half, 1964 AH half, 1951 cent, 1952 cent, 1965 cent, 1966 cent, 1967 cent, 1957 nickel, 1958 nickel, 1956 nickel, 1951 dime, 1965 dime, 1966 dime, 1967 dime, 1950 quarter, 1965 quarter, 1966 qurter and 1967 quarter.

You will find that topics seem to run in phases.
Depending on the turn over of members and the
types of coins in fad at a particular time. Stay around
long enough and all will come back.

If your waiting for images of those coins...as you obviously know...your going to see very few images. One of my first sets was a Proof Franky series where I got into the Top 5 of the registry and had several really nice coins, including a CAM 1950 Franky...but never had a 1959 CAM. I owned those coins for several years...and eventually sold them 3 years ago @ FUN auction. Had a couple of monster PR69DCAM's in the later dates and of course for the 1956. They were beautiful coins, but alas, had to be sold in order to make a down payment to buy my farm. I loved those coins though...even though they never performed financially nearly as well as lots of other coins I have owned.

If the Cameo Proof and SMS coins posts have become irregular maybe they just need more fiber

Who's gonna sell me a new one? This one has some unsightly carbon spots, but it's the only one I've come across in quite some time. I've had this one for years.

MS68 and I believe the new owner of the coin, a member here is very happy with this coin.
MS66Cam this is my more favorite of the two I own. I have an MS67, but it has hazy fields. Too affordable to pass on, but I still love thissun more.
Well then, here's my 66 SMS cameo set. All PCGS all Cam, All the time baby!!
Oh, but I think Teddy could do us all better... would you please post your 64 SMS dime?

And a very elusive dcam - 64 Deep Cameo (hairlines on the planchet prior to striking kept this one from a 65 or better)

Just like Lord Of The Rings and "Frodo Lives", I guess that........................ "Cameos Live", you just have to ask.
Great pictures of some lovely coins. I really like the Cameo SMS coins. They are so tough to locate and when you do they usually have flaws. Finding a clean, high grade Cameo SMS coin is a treat.
In the future, would you kindly limit your musings efforts to once or twice/year on these mundane items?
and keep your eyes peeled for THE IMPORTANT procedures in Philadelphia?
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

I should have something for you and the other Langbord case followers later today or tomorrow since today is the deadline for the Langbord family to file their response to the government's recently filed third summary judgment motion. That motion is directed at the Langbord claims for replevin and conversion [that motion was discussed in an earlier thread].
So stay tuned. In the meantime, take a look at the Cameos posted in this thread. While not in the upper strata of the hobby, these coins are very beautiful and have a devoted following. I hunt for them in raw sets and on occasion I get lucky and find a keeper.

He's gotta a lot of sweet talking to do in order to get that one.

Now the riff-raff is plaguing the place, posting MS stuff.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Don't have the 51 yet, by the way, nice coin keets. But will pick one up when I see one that I like.
There are a few early frosted nickels in my collection if some of you haven't seen them. Too lazy to post them here when they're already ready for viewing.
