1967 SMS Lincoln....CAM or No CAM? and if so, what Grade?

Crazy4Coins

What are forum opinions on whether this Lincoln would get the CAM designation. Looks close to me.

and if so, what are grade opinions?

A few different angles to highlight frost and mirrors:

No cam and the spot and flecks hold it to 66 at best imo

I have made 2 1967 Cameo Lincolns with PCGS
Your number three coin looks good ,but hard to tell with your pictures

All three sets of images are the same coin. Just different angles.

Imo, the obverse qualifies for CAM. It is the reverse that I am questioning. In hand the frost is actually a little better than the pics show. I had a hard time capturing a good image of the reverse.

no cam based on those pics

as pointed out the carbon spot on the reverse keeps it from 67.

No cameo designation. I don't even think it would receive a star designation (if you submitted it to NGC instead of our host given the low likelihood of a PCGS cameo designation).

No CAM, and I have made a few!! One thing to remember with SMS Lincolns, it's not the frost, it's the fields. The fields have to look like a proof. If they have a satin look it won't CAM. The fields have to be deep!! I have had plenty that have has the frost but not the fields!!

I've made several cams as well.
IMHO, I don't think that one will cam as the mirrors are not deep enough.
With PCGS SMS cams, it is all about the mirrors and less about the frost on the devices (but it still has to have frost.)
