Be sure to scroll down to several PCGS/NGC coins of the month below on this home page!
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE MANY RAW & CERTIFIED COINS FROM 1950-1967 ON THE VARIOUS PAGES OF THIS SITE. SINCE MOST OF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE PICTURES BEFORE YOU BUY, THATS HOW I'VE DONE MY RECENT UNCERTIFIED (raw coin) LISTINGS.
YOU CAN SEE THE NEW RAW OFFERINGS UNDER THE "UNCERTIFIED CAMEOS" BUTTON. Don't miss the all cameo proof sets at the bottom of that page!
There is also a nice group of PCGS and NGC coins on this home page and on the Certified cameos w/pictures page. A good number of premium certified coins under $100 are available.
If you've got a pop up window blocker, you must disable it to see any of the enlarged pictures available on this website.

!!!!! CAMEO PROOFS FROM 1936- 1970 ARE EXTREMELY ACTIVE !!!!!
THE COLLECTOR BASE IS REALLY EXPANDING!
FOLKS, CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN THE REAL CREAM OF THE PRE-WWII 1936-42 PROOFS:
The 2 major grading services are so wound up in discerning the ever so subtle minutia that separates a 66 from 67, a 67 from a 68, etc…that they very often miss the BIG PICTURE. As recently as the mid 1980s, we all bought coins based mostly on our own personal perception of the aesthetic “eye appeal” of a given mint state or proof coin. We were willing to pay more for the nicer, more eye appealing examples...and such examples were assigned "higher grades" by words such as "gem proof" which was nicer coin than a "choice proof", "superb gem proof" which was better than a "gem proof". Nobody…I mean nobody…was concerned about the tiniest hairline that only the very sharpest professional could find with his highly trained eagle eye. Today, the "registry folks" stomp on each other to buy a PCGS 69 coin at a truly ludicrous price…and not because the coin looks even the tiniest bit better than its 68 counterpart. Can they see the difference with their own eyes? 9 out of 10 registry collectors cannot see the difference!! They buy it ONLY because PCGS says its better on the grading tag!!!! And to add insult to injury, if you crack out 10 pre-1972 PCGS proof 69 coins and resubmit them to PCGS for grading, it is exceedingly likely that 5 or even more of them will get only a 68 on regrade!!!
For proofs of the 1936-42 era, there will never be enough cameos designated by the 2 major services to support full collections. There are a few dates/denominations that were simply not made with enough cameo frost to satisfy their excessively strict standards.
The moral of this story is simple. If you want to build a full collection of really beautiful cameo frosted 1936-42 proof coins, don't hold out strictly for PCGS/NGC examples. Buy them raw, in non-designated PCGS/NGC holders, or in holders from other services. Sprinkle a few cameo designated PCGS/NGC examples into the collection if you find them and your finances allow it. Your collection will be affordable and tremendously rewarding!!!
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY 1936-42 CAMEO INVENTORY.
I'LL KEEP HUNTING FOR THESE JEWELS. ONCE AGAIN, I PREDICT THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO STEP OUT AND BUY THESE RARITIES ARE GOING TO MIGHTY PLEASED WITH YOUR INVESTMENT IN A FEW YEARS! MEANWHILE THESE COINS WILL PROVIDE YEARS OF PLEASURE...THEY ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL TO GAZE AT!!!
