Proof 1858 SLQ.

Here's a coin I got a couple years ago. As most of you know, I like toning, but I also really like cameo contrast too. IMO this coin has something from both. As you can see, depending on how the coin is tilted, you can see some quite nice toning or (particularly on the reverse) some strong cameo contrast. The coin is graded PCGS PR64CAMEO. The images were taken by Shane Canup and I think he did an excellent job.

Beautiful coin, and looks like a pretty strong cameo there too.

I like the second set of images much better than the first, but regardless, it looks like a sensational coin!

You must be awful proud of that coin, Sy. That is truly a collection star. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, very nice coin. The last one I saw on NEN was an NGC PR-63 for $5750 which I consider underpriced versus most other US coins also.

That's just too funny... I finally read the whole OP.... and... well... I'm sure you guys can confirm... I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person!!

Despite all that, I can understand the confusion. The second set of images especially resemble Bob's style.

That is one heck of a quarter. Seated Liberty coinage is my favorite of the 19th century! What a looker!
