  I think it's lovely, but I will state that my experience with brilliant proofs of this era is that digital images seem to exagerate the CAM possibilities. Therefore, I will go with no CAM designation.

  Not my series but it looks pretty nice. Have you tried putting a ruler on end...to see how many inches are readable?

  If that is an accurate representation of what the coin actually looks like in hand, then it will not Cam. I see the contrast, but the mirrors seem extremely soft around the periphery of the design.

  In my experience, 1950 is a date that the TPG's are tough giving cameo designation. Thanks for your input.

  I agree with Tom, also being a 50 it is likely to get looke over a half sec longer to make sure. It needs to be all there to get it

  I vote no cam, but nice.

  Let's try not to get upset.

  Based upon the obverse photo it appears to me that the obverse fields will be the limiting factor. They do not appear to be black and deep enough to warrant the CAM designation. That being said, I'd sure be inclined to give it a try if the frost is as full as it appears.
  
  It's closer than I've come yet to a 1950 Washington Cameo.

  Nope, not if the pic is accurate.
  
  edit : mirrors being the culprit

  My concerns are the cheek area and above the 5 in 1950. They have frost to a less degree which might hold it back.

  Look sir, even a bad photo can't hide a good coin.

  is the cheek and neck (ob) and the right side of the eagle (rev) cameo?
  
  if not, then no.
