  I don't really know but I've seen coins with a lot less Cameo graded as Cameo.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  That is a nice looking Lincoln! Guessing from the photo I'd say it is Cameo.

  << <i>PCGS - no

  That's funny, I would have said exactly the opposite. IMO, NGC is much tougher in awarding CAM designations.
  
  In all honesty, Sumorada, the obverse pic makes it tough for me to have a strong opinion one way or the other, but my sense is it will go CAM if the obverse has a similar amount of frosting as the reverse (whose pic shows the contrast well).

  PCGS = NO
  NGC = NO
  PCI = DCAM... oh wait... they no longer have gold holders! = NO
  
  Anyhow, explaination.... the obverse has "SHINE", therefore no cameo... the reverse actually has more frost, but the mirrors are weaker.

  While that is a truly lovely PR Lincoln, I would say
  
  no brass ring. Of course, these PR coppers are really
  
  tough to designate Cam or DCam from a picture.

  There once was a place called
  Camelot

  Sometimes if you tilt a non-cam proof just right, the devices look frosted. Nice tilt, but no cam.
  
  
  
  edited for updated pics:
  
  Viewing the second set of pics, I retract my first statement Definitely looks cam, nice

  Sweet. We forget how nice that Memorial can look.....it too has been worn and degraded over the years. I love the inner fields inside the building....nice, sculptured design.

  Looks like a cam to me; but it's always hard to judge from photos. I've been wrong so many times, I just assume NOTHING is cam unless it's in a PCGS/NGC holder. Even then, NGC is suspect sometimes. Just MHO.

  hard to tell with pic's but it could be cameo. I think that coin is beautiful and worth sending in either way

  In my experience... and I can't see the photos right now from work.... if you have to work... even a little bit to get the coin to look cameo on photos, then it most likely won't grade cameo anywhere. No offense, but that's just the way things go.
