Agree with cwb and Thulium on mislabeled pic 2 caption.
Thulium, when I saw you were the last post, I thought you had an update for us!

Sorry for false alarm--I should have news by Friday.  Personally, I feel pretty hopeful about this coin.

OK...the coin arrived, and it's 100% a CAM!  It's great when hunches pay off--just made my day!  For now, a quick shot in the proof set plastic.

Congrats! I've never seen a proof cent up close, so I didn't know the Memorial bays were cameo as well. A new lesson every day here at ccf!

Thanks...it took a lot of searching to find this one. I now have 2 1999 CAMs, and hope to find a 98 CAM now. Hey, if I find another '99 CAM, I'll send you the link.

Correct it should have read ' Close AM'.

Yeah, it's hard to stare at all those pictures, but I've got a system for it. I've calculated the incidence of Close AM to normal proof is something around 1/1000--but probably less since many have already been found.
