Potential for a CAM or the coveted DCAM?

After looking at a BST listing with bids up to $6k, maybe I should take a better look at my sets.
It's no 68 DCAM, but there's contrast between device n field. Will the blueish appearance of the reverse turn off the graders?
Would a quick dip clean up the blue haze on the reverse?

DCAM? I don't think so.
Not my series, though.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Looks good as a CAM.
Lance.
Same shooting/lighting config, 1/200 f8, iso100. I think it cleaned up nicely, how about you?

Nice. Almost no one understands that it is the blackness of the mirrors that determines DCAM, not the white of the device. CAM for me.

Maybe at NGC. Not at PCGS:

Heavily frosted devices on both the obverse and reverse, with no areas of the main devices unfrosted.
Heavy contrast between the fields and devices.

I have never tried to grade a Kennedy.
I think the spot on the obverse would hurt it a little.
Based on my own criteria (which means nothing in the grading room) I'd give it a 66Cam.
Anyone out there, familiar with the series, with a grade opinion.
I used the e-Zest dip non diluted, didn't know you could dilute it. What's the recommended dip time?
if it doesn't acquire it...surely it was due to the mint luster in the field
goodluck if you submit and update us please
btw
i just had a 1966 kennedy land sp66cam at the beginning of this month
2nd one this year

CAM for me too
Here is a 1966 in 67dcam for comparison. I was told I paid crazy money for it 15 years ago at $400. I simply smiled.

Cameonut, those fields are black as the night. Nice!
