Overall your submission was outstanding to have scored as many CAM/DCAM as you did is pretty awesome.
In my opinion the true highlight coins are:
a. 1950 Half - 65 CAM - looks numerically undergraded from the TrueView; I'd be inclined to give it another shot.
b. 1951 Half - 64 CAM - A 64 grade or not, I still haven't managed to make a 1951 cameo half.
c. 1954 Half - It's unfortunate, PCGS restoration couldn't remove the spot, as you've long said, it's an outstanding coin.
d. 1957 Half - 68 CAM - I believe it deserves another submission, sure looks like a DCAM to me. IMO the frost break by the ear shouldn't prevent a DCAM designation.
e. 1958 Half - 67 CAM - I'd be inclined to crack that out and see if you can remove the reverse spot, looks to warrant DCAM consideration.
f. 1941 Set - You've long indicated to me that the set had incredible toning. You were right. The half, quarter and dime are fantastic.
I think you were short-changed on the 1959 half and 1964 AH Kennedy, I believe they should both have received a CAM designation. I also think the 1967 half could have warranted DCAM...comparing your 1968 and 1967 coins above, there is very little difference in the frost or fields. As I'd indicated previously, it would not have surprised me to see the 1950, 1953, or 1958 halves in DCAM holders.
So what comes next? How anxious are you to select and submit your next batch and which series comes next?

Kennedys are my quest...
