1957 deep cameo proof cent 1 1

[blinewalker]

Asking opinions about this coin, IMO it looks to me to be a deep cameo. The pictures may not be the best and I know the lighting isn't worth a damn but that's the lowest my scope will go thanks.

A "cameo" has to have complete frosted relief on both sides with mirror-like fields. In the photos, I see too much reflectivity on the relief.

There IS a horrible lighting problem here that will affect Cameo and Ultra Cameo judgments, but that said, there is no way this is an ultra, and PROBABLY doesn’t make Cameo either, but it could.

All I can say from your photos is you have a Lincoln cent dated 1957.

Yes gentlemen I realize the photos leave something to be desired, but as mentioned in the post the photos are s##t my scope doesn't care for proof coins and after an hour dicking around with it it beat me and I summitted, knowing that would be the first thing said about the post is why I mentioned it in the beginning of the post. Thanks for the time to look at them and if your eyes are bleeding blame it on Russia

Try a cell phone shot on a white background and see if that works. Other than that it is a good looking proof but not a cam.

The scope lighting is not gonna give you the looks you are looking for. As stated, use your cell phone.
