Cameo Proof Walking Liberty Half pics? Please post!

Anyone have any pics of a Cameo Proof Walking Liberty Half (not the new ASE's)? I've never seen one. I'm not even sure they exist. If anyone has a pic of one, please post it!

I've written about this subject before. I've seen a few cameo graded Walkers and they just do not have full cameo frost over all the devices. The sun is brilliant and never frosted. No Walker has a proof cameo like the proof Barber halves. Some are close though. Here is one of mine.



This coin and my other proof walkers were in an educational display at the FUN show in 2003 and 2004.

Mightey tall order !

Seems there are only 2 or 3 extant graded as such

Baley

and even those are semi-cameo at best, for the reasons Merc cites

I tried to capture the semi- nature of this one using natural light..





the mirrors of the fields are more reflective than this photo indicates, but at best one could only say, "mild cameo"

Beautiful coin, Merc.

I think cameo proofs were just so much more beautiful in the days before the mint was making ALL proofs cameos. Even in modern series. Compare a cameo Washington or Kennedy from the 60's to what's in a 200x set.
