1967Canadapenny Pillar of the Community United States 965 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 6:06 pm I love coins with a nice circulation cameo. I tend to keep any coins that I find with such an effect. Here is one of my pocket pieces I have. its a poor photo, and its considerably more worn now, (this pic is a few months old), but you can see the circulation cameo. C'mon y'all let's see your coins with circulation cameos. Moved to Main forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Schwanke Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 9:11 pm Being completely clueless on all these terms and getting extremely excited about learning them, whats the definition of a cameo? Is it when a portion of a coin turns all one color? Like I have several normal quarters that all have a very nice black effect on them that makes them look beautiful to me thats similar to your brown. The relief that sticks out is untouched but the back ground is all a 'stained black' but not like tar or anything, just seems like general wear of some kind though I don't know enough to know what does it. Or is that something else? EDIT Found the glossary definition of cameo. Though it talks mostly of proofs I can see how this is a cameo by its contrasting. It does look cool. I should see if I can get good shots of my similar ones and see if I am right. . Edited by Schwanke 09/13/2012 10:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 10:37 pm I would call this more of a toning than a cameo Report this Post to the Staff
Schwanke Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 10:45 pm Oh ok. I guess that makes sense from what I read about toning though all the toning I saw posted in the toning thread was multi colored like oil in water. (Really cool lookin to boot.) I guess toning is really any coin that looks cool to someone after 'nature taking its course' and its not PMD like being spray painted or covered in tar or something? Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1199 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 12:22 am Looks like circ cameo to me. Too "dirty" for toning. Very nice no matter which label you use. Report this Post to the Staff

Next time, click on "Send Note to Staff" and ask for it to be moved. It'll happen quicker.
