Maybe, just maybe, I scored my second ever cameo SMS Lincoln.

It has roughly the same degree of contrast as the MS64CAM just graded, but slightly better surface preservation.
Oh, and here's the coin in MartyVision™:

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... I hope you get lucky on this one and the coin certainly looks good!

Check out some of my 1794 Large Cents on www.coingallery.org
Russ are those hairline scratches above ONE CENT on the reverse, a slight rub or just a scratch on plastic ?

Looking for alot of crap.
The reverses usually are easier to get the cameo designation, its the obverses that are tough. The four or five 1965 cams that I have handled all exhibited very reflective mirrors with medium contrast.
The 1965 is very difficult to find in cameo - far easier than the 1966 and 1967.
I'll guess SMS 65 Cameo on this one. (with a shot at 66 )

Yep. Pretty common on these.

Hairlines. Also pretty common on these. The MS64CAM I just made also had both the planchet flaw in the cheek and the hairlines in the lower obverse fields. But, in addition it had more problems in the obverse fields than this one.

For SMS coins, they are beyond tough right now.
