Bought this for the VAM, not the MS63 Cameo the dealer had it marked as.

Very nice looking coin ! I am not sure there is a deep cameo designation for business strike coins. Morgans are usually PL (proof Like ) or DMPL (Deep Mirror ProofLike ) I would agree yours is PL , but hard to tell from the pictures whether the fields are reflective enough for the DMPL designation. There is enough frost I believe for the PL rating, and I agree with the MS-63 grade , a little too much luster rub and some field hits would limit a higher grade IMO.

a way to test it is if you can read a business card in the fields with the card 8 inches away from the coin just like looking at the card itself through your eyes then it is a DMPL, if you can't and can at 6 inches then it qualifies as PL I think. It can be very hard to photograph a DMPL to show the mirrors the way you see them looking at it. This is as close as I have ever gotten

I am soo sorry, I thought you said Deep Mirror and now that I re-read it I see you are saying deep cameo. Cameo is the frostiness of the portrait. I have one here graded by ANACS as cameo and will take a picture of it to show you

Here they are:
