I can't tell if it is a 1955 Cam of Dcam? I am thinking it is at least MS66. Lost at the CAM of DCAM.

Imo, I don't think the pics are sufficient to grade a possible CAM surface.

I would have to conservatively grade this one a 65 CAM. The frosting on the obverse is pretty weak compared to the reverse, which happens often with the 50's-60's proofs. The mirrors aren't nearly as watery on your example as some I've seen.

65 cam would be great. Not sure if it is Bugs type. I will see if I can get a better picture.

It is difficult to photograph cameo coins. Based on your photos it is not deep cam, possibly cameo but if I were to grade it strictly on these photos I would call it Pr 65.
