And why, you ask, is that one of my favorite coins? Because it has an interesting grading history.
I originally bought it on Teletrade as an MS64RD because it looked like it had just enough contrast to go cameo.
Cracked it out and submitted it, came back MS65RD.
Cracked it out and submitted it again, came back MS65RD.

It must be like a fine wine. It's improving with age.

BTW, what service level have you used?? i higher level might get a better, more experienced look.....................
What type of lighting did you use to capture the coin so brilliantly?

It's severely overgraded in its current holder. I grade it either MS64CAM or MS65RD.

my first thought was that with the mirrors not being clear they won't give a Cameo designation, especially on copper. it must have enough POP, though, that it's moved up, now maxed and just waiting for the wrong consensus to agree, "Cameo!!" you've probably looked at more SMS sets than me so you're well aware of how impossible it is to find a Lincoln with any contrast at all. when you do, they're keepers.
Cam, well maybe. Try and submit it again, I guarantee a different grade.

Yeah, so far I've only scored a single example that graded cameo at PCGS. A 1965 in MS64CAM. Kennedys and Jeffersons in cameo grow on trees compared to the Lincolns.
