If posts around here about how tight PCGS is now on grading moderns are accurate; and/or if the coins has atificially frosted devices, I would say no.
That said, however, I would gladly take the coin off your hands (if it is authentic and not artifically frosted) and put it in my Capital Proof Frankie Holder as an upgrade to the existing 1961. That way it will look just like its 1951-54, 56-58, 60, 62 & 63 brothers (which look like Russ's pictured 1961 and clearly are not CAMDCAM). What is your asking price (if you have one)? PM me if you would be open to selling it to me raw.
Looking at the posted question and photo again, I will take a 180 degree opposite stab at answering the question. My answer is still no it willnot make CAM. However, the reason for my second answer is different (and assumes the coin is not artifically frosted), since I would opine that the coin would DCAM (and thus not CAM).
If it DCAM's and recieves a 67 or higher grade, I bet you could sell it to R&I Coins for $250.00 and then see it marketed for more than the current $3,000.00 plus sales prices on smoe 1964 AH DCAM proofs.
Still waiting oh learned one for a little education on the topic of cameos.
BTW, please favor us with information about the coin (i.e. is it yours?; and if so the when, where, who and how much of your acquistion and your plans for the coin). Thanks, SanctionII.

This could be one that's painted to look cameo.

I'll tell you whats up on that ---it's called a DDR and it's "worth" $1,000+
Good one Russ.

What say you Russ, oh learned one.

Actually, if it were a DDR that looked like this one, $1000 wouldn't even buy a day pass to get in to the auction when it sold.
It's reflection off the mirrors.

<< <i>Do you guys think this 1961 proof Franklin would make the cameo designation at PCGS? >>
No, but I do believe it would DCAM at PCGS.

My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

To my eye, it is a lock cameo, probably a dcam. Not the big DDR (as you know) but the other three DDR's have slight doubling of EPU.
If it doesn't cam - I'll be happy to buy it from you.

Details, details, we want details and your answer to the original question you asked.
<< <i>Russ, we still have not heard "the rest of the story".

There really is no "rest of the story". It's a strong cameo plus coin grading PR67 to PR68. My question was facetious.
Russ, NCNE
Nice coin. You are such a tease!
