    Anybody else finding a lot of cameos?

    Ran through 6 boxes the other day, pickings were pretty slim... 4 40% and 1 90%, that's it. But I did find 7 proofs, 6 of which were cameos. must be a lot of packs being opened recently. Anybody else finding these?

    Yes...I've been finding more cameo proofs than ever before.

    I'm not sure why I am keeping them, but they sure are pretty to look at.

    I haven't found any yet. But, I'm not actively searching for them.

    This is not my picture, BUT I can not see the edges. If the coin is minted in 1992 or later, there is a chance it is a silver proof. Yes, those would have a silver rim. If its before 92, its not silver(if my info is correct).
