WHERE ARE YOU 1967 BABIES...WHAT A KEEPSAKE FOR YOUR BIRTHYEAR!! A QUICK LESSON ON CAMEO PROOFS FROM THE 1950S AND 60S FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY BE NOVICES IN THIS AREA. The dies used to strike the collector proof coins of this era were prepared by acid etching the recessed areas (the designs on the struck coin) and polishing the highest flat surfaces of the die (the background on the struck coin). The polishing of the high surfaces was meant to make the background on the struck coin look like a mirror. The point of the acid etching of the recessed areas was to create a frosted effect on the designs of the struck coin so that the proof coin enjoyed a “WHITE ON BLACK” or “CAMEO” effect. Unfortunately, the minting technology of the 50s and 60s era did not allow for this effect to last for many strikings of new dies. The frost on the recessed areas of the dies wore away rather quickly…after as few as 50-100 strikes. The result is that “CAMEO” proof coins of this era are very scarce. Less than 1% of the proofs minted in the 1950s qualify to be called “cameo”. In the early 60s, less than 2% of all proofs minted qualify to be called cameos. The effect lasted a little longer by the 1960s. Today, nearly every proof coin struck by the U.S. mint is a full cameo. From 1965-67, the mint did not strike any full proof coins. Instead they struck “Special Mint Set” coins which were supposed to be “prooflike”. The dies were prepared more hastily and with much less care for the “cameo” effect. For 1965-67 SMS coins, the cameo percentage is significantly less especially for 1965. 1965-67 SMS pennies are exceedingly rare because most of those dies were simply not prepared with any frosting effect at all…a poor job by the mint. OF COURSE THE VERY EARLIEST STRIKES OF FRESH DIES CREATE THE MORE HEAVILY FROSTED AND THUS INTENSELY CONTRASTED BEAUTIES!! Later strikings created less heavily contrasted coins until the effect was completely gone and the entire proof coin looked mirror-like with no frost at all on the design elements (called the devices). The proofs with no frost represent the vast majority of the proof coin production of the 1950s and 60s era. VERY SIMPLY STATED, THE CAMEO PROOFS OF THIS ERA ARE QUITE RARE RELATIVE TO FULLY MIRROR-LIKE UNFROSTED EXAMPLES!! THE STRONGER/HEAVIER THE CAMEO, THE MORE RARE, MORE STUNNING, AND MORE VALUABLE IS THE COIN!! THE VERY EARIEST STRIKES CAN BE MONSTER CAMEOS THAT BRING MONSTER PRICES!!! This isn’t rocket science…I simply fully understand the eye appealing look that most folks like and that’s exactly what I buy at the major shows. I leave the far less eye appealing “bargains” for others. Read my feedback and see if you want to join my rapidly growing customer base of folks who appreciate special quality at a very fair price!
