Cameo Availability:
1958 marks the start of the years when milk spots would begin to plague many coins and would continue through the end of the series. One of the more insidious aspects of it is that the spots might not show up until years later. What this means for the collector is that while there are a reasonable number of high quality cameos available, to find one that is attractive and high quality begins to become more difficult than the middle years of 1955 through 1957. It may take some time to find a spot-free coin to fit the collection. Also of note is that the number of Ultra Cameos dropped again with populations looking more like the early 1950s.

This Coin:
This coin is pure white with no toning, has clean deep fields and strong cameo (obv: cameo+, rev: cameo+). This is a very attractive coin with nice clean fields. I went through a number of 1958s before finding this clean and attractive coin.
