The half and qtr might clean up for a cam.

@SanctionII, as you are well aware of the cameo aspects of these raw proof sets, is your real question, I believe the 3 silver proof coins have a shot at cameo, what is your opinion and do you agree with me that these three have a shot? I would say yes, there is a possibility at cameo designation. The 3 silvers look like they could cameo, IMO Zack.
Just how does a single coin, (the nickel) turn like that? And yes, the quarter is quite stunning.
My thoughts are that I like it.
Silvers look like a CAM.

The nickel was struck with 90 degree rotated dies.
Lighting in pictures can make many appear more frosted than they are. Do you have them in hand? You have more recent experience with CAM and DCAMs
Has promise.
I think the quarter might pull CAM. Others look like just misses to me.
My opinion is that they look nice in the holder as is.

Well, stepping out just a bit but looks to me like Cam, DC, Cam. Light reflecting on dime obverse may just be a bit deceiving.
Well, just Love coins, period.
The appearance of the coins in the photos is of lower quality than they appear in hand. All five coins are very similar in appearance.
Whoever assembled this proof set has an eye for quality.
Is the nickel rotated 270 degrees or 90?

FWIW this type of proof set is easily opened and closed - those are basically plastic screws holding it together. It is not sealed in any way.
My thoughts. Dunno if they'd CAM or not, but they look good and frosty, albeit with what looks like a slight bit of haze on the half that could be dipped off? Maybe? Dunno if I'd try that or not, however.
And check the cent if you purchase it for the DDO variety.

It is definitely a premium set, regardless if they make CAM or not.

Nice proof set
All five coins in this set are possible Cameos and are being submitted to our host for grading.
Attached are cell phone photos of the cent and nickel.
I'd say a 50/50 chance.

Those look nothing like the images you posted in the first pictures. Somewhat cameo in appearance, but the way the light reflects off the coin can change its appearance. So now I don’t know.
All 5 coins from the 1951 proof set have now been sent to our host for grading.
Stay tuned for grade results.
P.S. The nickel is not struck from rotated dies. The photos of the coins in the Capital Holder show that the nickel somehow rotated in the holder between photographs (many times a coin will rotate in a Capital Holder if the hole is slightly larger than the coin).
P.S.S. The cent is not the DDO variety.
