    I'm at MS67*. It's in an NGC slab and I don't quite think it earns the CAM notation but it's very close. So, I would give it the star.

    MS 67 Cameo ....looks like enough contrast for a Cameo designation and I don't see any distracting hits/marks, thus the 67 (I played the odds game against calling it a 68 as that is where the price sharply increases)

    It's a hard call based on photos but I've seen weaker examples get a CAM.

    This eBay example looks less CAM (although the photo style is different)

    These are real nice. That one's a handsome bugger. I'm totally in the MS67 column.

    EDIT: Put a star or plus or whatever on it, too, I forgot they do that, lol. Give it the works.

    I think its MS-67 Cameo , I would say 68 but I am not sure what that mark is in front of the nose
    sweet coin

    I can only think that the slab states something like ODV-002 (Normal hair) DDO-015

    OK, many got it right. It is a MS 67 DDO Doubled profile. Do I think it is cameo? Darn close, especially the reverse. Why did it not grade cameo? Because the price more than doubles, from a $150 coin to a $500 coin. NGC was cautious. It looks even nicer in hand. In 67 cameo, this variety drops in population to 5.

    Yes,its pretty darn close and to me it deserves a CAM I decided to drop out of it because I felt like they wouldn't be that generous lol.
