Owner Comments:

NGC Cameo Populations:
The total mintage figure for 1954 is 233,300. As of 12/2018, NGC certified coin populations show that there are 1836 Cameo coins total in all grades making up 0.79% of the total mintage while there are 85 Ultra Cameo coins making up 0.04%.
-----
Cameo Availability:
The 1954 is really the last early year coin that had problems due to the mint's packaging techniques. Fortunately, cameo population numbers and better coin quality make the coin more available than any of the previous years. So, it is even a bit more likely to find coins with deep mirror fields and strong cameo contrast than the 1953. Good coins do come up a little more often than the 1953.
-----
This Coin:
This coin is pure white with no toning, has clean deep fields and strong cameo (obv: ucam-, rev: cameo+). This coin is very attractive and clean. I was originally looking at PR67CAM coins but when I came across this PR68CAM, the quality was so outstanding that I had to say yes.
