Has anyone found a pre 1970 proof set or and SMS set in mint packaging with all 5 coins being cameo?

Just curious about the experiences of other proof and SMS set cherry pickers. Have any of you ever hit the jackpot and found an original set with all 5 coins being cam or dcam?
I lucked out once and found and bought a 1962 proof set that have 4 out of 5 coins being two sided cameos. However, at the time I did not think about keeping the set intact and cut it open to get the half. I now regret cutting the set open.

May as well lock this thread, because that's a definitive response you can take to the bank, given the way these guys corner the choice modern proof sets.
that's about the best.

My guesses (assuming the reverses look like the obverses and further assuming that there are no hairlines or significant marks [none apparent in your pictures]) are:
Cent - 65CAM
Nickel - 66CAM
Quarter - 67CAM
Half - 66 CAM.
How did I do? (If the grades are lower across the board but with the same ranking [quarter the best, followed by the nickel & half, with the cent bringing up the rear] do I still get brownie points?)
