muddler, dcams are suppose to show much more frost on the letters, bell, etc vs cameos. Honestly, sometimes you can tell a cameo vs a deep cameo but then there are coins like the one you posted that makes you wonder. I too have seen normal cameos that I wondered why it was deep cameo

Spectacular. Thank you for sharing your gems.
I would trade you one of my kids for one of those bad boys.

I have had cameos that I though should have been graded DCAM but any break in cameo contrast hurts and often the coin will have a DCAM obverse and CAM reverse and therefore a CAM grade.

Correct. More often than not, folks will mistake a dcam for a cameo with one side much frostier than the other.
True deep or ultra cameos are very hard to find.
