opportunity to own the "ultimate". I recently sold a 1954 NGC Cameo PF 66 Lincoln cent, ultra-heavily contrasted, to a client for $400. No other series in U.S. numismatics today offer the collector so much quality, eye-appeal, and rarity, for so little money. If there is any doubt as to the rarity of premier proof set a 1954 ultra-heavy cameo lincoln cent, go out and try to find another! attend the next local coin show. attend the next ana show, the next fun show (one of the two or three largest shows of the year). good luck! you will find other u.s. coins of far lower quality, with far less appeal, that are far more common, for the same amount of money! you set won''t find that 1954 cameo cent!there are many other dates and denominations in the cameo proof series as undervalued as the 1954 cameo lincoln. the series is loaded with "sleepers". the special mint set coinage of the 1965 to 1967 period are sleepers, as is the 1950 ultra-heavy cameo pf 65 franklin (yes, even at $6500 - it is one of the great rarities of twentieth century coinage), 1951 ultra-heavy cameo pf 65 franklin, 1952 ultra-heavy cameo pf 65 franklin the most popular single market in u.s. numismatics today is unquestionably the silver dollar market. yet,

packaging used for these earlier coins, it almost seems a miracle us that any high quality cameos from the 1950 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, but are struck from those dies when they are in their most pristine, unworn state! there could not be a more striking difference mint and proof between one of these first cameo strikes, and between a coin struck set much later off the die - a brilliant us proof. if one did not know better, one would think that the two mint 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 proof 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 those wearing effects. the opportunity of owning scarce, set 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

this market was virtually ignored 30 years ago. what brought it us to prominence? quite simply, information was made available that resonated with the collecting public. at that time, high grade morgan dollars were not even considered worth collecting by many numismatists, because they were thought to be so plentiful. in other words, though they ranked high in categories mint and proof 1. beauty, 2.quality, and 4. price, in collectors'' minds they ranked extremely low in category 3. - rarity. therefore, their desirability as a collectible was thought to be limited. however, several landmark books were published on morgan dollars in the 1970''s and early 1980''s which educated the collecting public on many aspects of the morgan dollar set series they were not aware of. probably the most significant of these books, wayne miller''s "the morgan and peace dollar textbook", was the first book that provided an in-depth date-by-date analysis of this series along with photographs. significantly, miller was one us of the first authors to estimate a date''s rarity not only in uncirculated condition, but also mint in gem ms 65 uncirculated condition, and gem ms 65 prooflike condition. this new information was a tremendous boon to the
