A cameo coin is used in coin collecting to refer to a circulation coin that has proof-like qualities or a proof coin that has unusually spectacular contrast. A cameo coin has empty areas that reflect light like a mirror. The raised part of a cameo coin is well-defined and frosty in appearance. Cameo coins are among the most sought-after in numismatics and command a significant premium when sold. So if I were you, I sayif you see a shine in some ones pocket then that is how you know they have a cameo coin!!

Copper-nickel, not silver. No 40%-silver dollars were made in 1977.The S mint mark indicates it's a proof coin made in San Francisco. If it's in its original packaging its value could range from $5 for an average one up to $20 for a coin with almost flawless detail.If the coin is a so-called "cameo" proof with a deep background and pronounced satin finish on the raised portions of the design its value could be much higher.
