  50/50 shot at cameo. The reverse mirroring is pretty weak at the periphery.

  I like what you`ve done so far; some really nice detail in and through the hair. Maybe using a second, lower wattage bulb, might make a difference. Not that I know much about photography, just trying to put my 2 cents in.

  Here's a comparison coin:
  
  
  
  That one didn't grade cameo at PCGS, but might on another submission. It's a technical MS66 that got an eye appeal bump to MS67, and would be just as likely to grade MS66CAM next time around.

  Right, I collected Kennedy's 20 years ago, and now collect Franklins I'm passing myself, and will eventually work on matte proof gold

  Frank, I don't believe it to be a Cam. Look for coins with this look!!
  ...PS, I'd be glad to come down there and give photography lessons for a couple of your Toned Kennedys......Ken

  I served with Russ. I knew Russ. Russ was a friend of mine.
