Little bit of the grading designation and quality:
What Does Cameo Mean?
Proof coins are produced with extra care and attention for superior quality; coins are specially struck to create a mirrored image. Some of the first designated proof coins were made in the 1950s and 1960s by polishing specially etched and prepared dies. Some of these early sets produced what were called “frosted” images, with high contrast between the polished fields and the reliefs.
The term “cameo” means that a coin has a light to moderate frosting on both sides. This is in contrast to what is known as a “brilliant proof” coin, in which the coin displays a brilliant mirrored finish, rather than a frosted finish. One you see the coins side by side, you’ll quickly recognize the difference in brilliant proof coins from those considered cameo.
Cameo Vs. Ultra Cameo
To receive the official Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) designation of a cameo coin, the devices on each side (obverse and reverse) of a coin must have at least a light frosting, accented by a reflective field. These coins are often quite beautiful and are produced with a wide range of subjects and figures.
If a coin is to receive ultra cameo (also called deep cameo) designation, it must possess an intense frosted finish on both sides of the coin and highly polished fields accenting the raised devices. The requirement for consistent and exceptional frosting in all areas and details of the coin is essential to earn and maintain the grade of ultra cameo.
NGC offers the Early Releases and First Releases designations for select coins received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within 30 days of the first release of a new coin issue. The terms Early Releases or First Releases will be noted as part of the coin description on the NGC label. Early Releases and First Releases are interchangeable and the same definition and relevant cutoff dates applies to each term.
To qualify for Early Releases or First Releases, a coin must generally be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin’s release. NGC maintains a list of Early Releases and First Releases cutoff dates for US coins and world coins on this website.
A coin's release date may be different from the date on the coin itself. For example, a mint may release a 2015-dated coin in 2016 or a 2018-dated coin in 2017. Eligibility for the Early Releases and First Releases designations is determined at NGC's sole discretion. NGC will disqualify coins from these designations if it cannot reasonably determine that coin's release date.
A submitter wishing to have a coin designated with the Early Releases or First Releases designation must note this request on the NGC submission form, and additional fees generally apply for the special label and designation verification.
