collector, for many dates which were considered fairly 1966 common in uncirculated condition, such as the 1879-O and 1880-O Morgan dollar, were disclosed to be extremely scarce or rare in gem MS 65 uncirculated grade and gem MS 65 prooflike! With these disclosures by a respected expert in the field, special the Morgan dollar market us mint set bloomed almost overnight. by the early 1980''s, it was the single largest area of collector interest in u.s. numismatics, simply because it was disclosed that in addition to the other benefits of 1. beauty, 2. quality, and 4. low price, many dates in the series also enjoyed a high degree of 3. rarity, in higher grade. the 1950-1970 cameo proof series is currently positioned at the same point the morgan dollar market found itself in the mid-1970''s. like the morgan dollar market at that time, the current cameo set proof market has been enjoying increasing popularity among collectors with each passing year, despite the birth of published information on the subject. the fact is, high grade cameo examples of many of the rarer cameo dates are so rare that few dealers have ever seen such coins. the cameo proof series, like the morgan dollar series, has been 1966 crying for a comprehensive book

devoted to special it. here is one final, very important similarly between the morgan dollar series and the cameo proof series: in uncirculated mint set grading prooflike morgan dollars, the two largest grading services in the nation, pcgs (professional coin grading service) and ngc (numismatic guaranty corporation), offer two grades of prooflike for that series - "dmpl" (deep mirror prooflike) - for the very earliest strikes off the business die, and a simple "pl" (prooflike) - for the slightly later strikes. pcgs and ngc now offer a similar delineation for all proof coinage from the 1950 to 1970 era. as of early february, 1992, pcgs offers two cameo set designations for early strike cameo proofs - "dcam" (deep cameo - roughly equivalent to what we refer to as "ultra-heavy") - for those cameo proofs which were the very earliest strikes off the proof die, with the heaviest 1966 contrast, and a simple special "cam" (cameo) designation for those coins which were slightly later strikes, but which still mint possess significant cameo contrast. ngc instituted their own set two-tier system similar to pcgs'' in the spring 1966 of 1995. with pcgs and ngc now involved, novices will for the first time have their coins recognized by the most widely used grading service in

packaging used for these earlier coins, it almost seems a miracle that any high quality cameos from the 1950 special to 1970 era exist at all! the finest cameos, being early strikes off proof dies, are quite simply "the best of the best", for they are not only struck from proof dies, the finest possible dies, mint but are struck from those dies when they are in their most pristine, unworn state! there could not be a more striking difference between one of these first cameo strikes, and between a coin struck much later off the die - a brilliant proof. if one did not know better, one would think that the two coins were struck from two completely different dies! in a sense, they were. more correctly, they were both struck from the same die, but one coin was struck before that die had experienced the wearing effect of 100''s of tons of pressure of metal on metal, and one coin was struck after that die had experienced set those wearing effects. the opportunity of owning scarce, attractive coins that also are the ultimate in quality for their era has a very special appeal to collectors. it also gives these coins tremendous "upside" potential, as it very hard to pay too much for coins that offer the collector the
