    Am I correct that cameo/mirror proofs came into existence at this time for American coinage ?

    I don't believe that before the 1930's that U.S. coinage had that feature (at least not Saints).  Today, all proofs whatever the denomination have that shiny mirror surface.

    Didn’t the Indian cent have cameo and mirror finishes? There were also Seated proofs in all denominations with mirrors and cameos.

    Well at least I have a few more of these I can share, the winged liberty dime is a beautiful design and your 1940 is outstanding @ldhair.   I generally gravitate towards blast white coins for a high percentage of my 19th century silver coins, but the tone on this coin struck me as appealing.

    I’ll be happy. To take the toners off your hand. Your 1930 is gorgeous. 
    A blast white one for you (one of my few).

    No, I think it is the “old guard” who dragged this site down to the point where it was known as Sleepy Hollow, attempting to throw their weight around. I fight back when faced with that umm, err, poo. 
     

    My posts have THE MOST “likes” in the past year, and the third most all time. Who’s lacking awareness?

    I’m not so sure about the old guard causing the Sleepy Hollow nickname. I started posting here in 2006. Most, if not all, the old guard was posting. I don’t remember any of them driving anyone off then or now. It was also referred to as Sleepy Hollow then, mainly by the PCGS crowd because compared to the traffic they had it was more of a vacation here. This site has always been welcoming and friendly, especially when compared to starting new on the PCGS boards.

    Kurt is correct, there is no cartwheel appearance whatsoever. These are totally satin. Looking close up, the fields have the look of a modified snakeskin as seen in the modern cameos. The design is similar the the original, but somehow it lays on the coin differently. It's hard to explain, the lettering, stars and devices just have a different look, almost like the coin is made from a cast.
