Hope I can get some guidance on how to grade proof wheat and Lincoln cents, specifically, how to distinguish between cam and dcam? I understand the criteria for each, but what pick up points or review pointers I should look for to distinguish between the two? For example, if any part of the devices have the same color as the field, does that influence the cameo designation such that the coin is designated RD and RD CAM, or RD CAM instead of RD DCAM? I searched for the terms grading proof cents and could not find a relevant post. Thank you for your help.

I find all the videos related to grading to be extremely informative and professionally done.
