involved "acid-dipping" the dies before they were 1986s polished. The solution used during the 1950 to 1970 period, a bath consisting of 5% nitric acid/95% water, was used to create an acid-etched appearance on the die. When the die was subsequently polished and buffed, the recessed portions of the die, the devices, retained their acid-etched cameo. The very first strikes off one of these new dies would possess a gorgeous, intense cameo effect very similar in quality to the proofs minted prestige today. The raised portions of these early strikes, the devices (on the Franklin half, these would be the bust of Franklin, the lettering, and date on the premier proof set obverse, spode christmas tree miniature tea set and the liberty bell, eagle, and lettering on the reverse) would display a snow-white cameo effect that would stand in stark contrast to the deep-mirrored fields surrounding 1986s them. the flawless, jewel-like quality of the best of these prestige cameos almost look like works of art rather than mere coins! indeed, to most collectors, these coins are works of art! the frosted devices of these early cameo dies were quite delicate - one could easily scratch proof a bit of frost from the die with one''s fingernail, and were the first part set of the die to wear. each
devoted to it. here is one final, very important similarly between the morgan dollar series and the 1986s cameo proof series: in grading prooflike morgan dollars, the two largest grading services in the nation, pcgs (professional coin grading service) and ngc (numismatic guaranty corporation), prestige offer two grades of prooflike proof 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 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 contrast, and a simple "cam" (cameo) designation for those coins which were slightly later strikes, but which still possess significant cameo contrast. ngc instituted their own two-tier system similar to pcgs'' in the spring of 1995. with pcgs and set ngc now involved, novices will for the first time have their coins recognized by the most widely 1986s used grading service in
think of! let''s take a prestige brief look at these five areas, proof and how cameo''s rate in relation to other u.s. coinage. there are few coins in numismatics as attractive as a cameo proof. while some may disagree with this statement, there is no disputing the opinions of literally set thousands of 1986s collectors and dealers already familiar with this coinage. proof coins themselves are minted specifically for collectors. as such, they have always represented the state-of-the-art in minting techniques. the mint has always gone to considerable trouble to produce these coins. proof dies are highly polished and buffed until the surfaces possess a mirror-like perfection. planchets go through extra steps in their preparation, until they too possess prestige a brighter, satiny appearance. traditionally, proof planchets have been hand-fed into the die, and have always been proof double struck, under higher pressures than business strikes, to bring out every possible detail. once struck, the coins are handled individually so as not to abrade with other coins, as business strikes normally would. set cameo proofs were the very earliest strikes off new proof dies. during certain periods in the history of the mint, part of the die preparation process
