Cameoness doesn't count?

In looking at the PCGS Set Registry weightings, it appears that the presence of, and degree of, cameo appearance doesn't change the weighting. For example the Kennedy 1965 SMS price guide lists vastly different prices (and populations I suspect) for "no cam", CA and DCAM, yet the registry weighting is 1.00 irrespective. True?

Weight of 1 for the coin, but there will also be a CAM and DCAM bonus. With that coin, the CAM bonus is 1, the DCAM bonus is 3.

When I print the PCGS weighting table, it says nothing about that. Where is that documented?

Thanks Russ - found it. You're terrific.

I was confused by the statement in the "rules" link that said:

"In the case of modern (1950 to date) proof coinage, the baseline will be "Deep-Cameo." Each coin that is cameo will receive a one point deduction while coins that have no designation (are neither cameo or deep-cameo) will receive a two point deduction. This is to say that a PR67, a PR66CAM, and a PR65DCAM will all score the same 65 grade points. For pre-1950 proofs, coins which are "Deep Cameo" will receive one bonus grade point and there are no deductions for non-cameo."

Be nice if they got that fixed.

thanks again
