Critique: Only 5079 individual coins were minted, plus it's an early date and therefore not many examples have been graded PF70UC. So when I saw this listed for a fairly cheap price, I was very excited and bought it straightaway. But when I entered it into my competition set, the point value was lower than expected. It was then that I realized I had inadvertently purchased the Cameo version of this coin, rather than the desired Ultra Cameo version. DOH!!! To be competitive in the QE2 proof category, nothing less than PF70UC on every coin is acceptable. Well, live and learn. I will never make that mistake again.
