    Fuzzy images of a non-cameo example.

    Decent. Looks like it would be a pleasant addition.
    As stated though, a better understanding of the photographer's intentions is unknown, although suspected.

    Pictures out of focus. No obvious hairlines. Might be some removable haze (or that could be the focus). No cameo, but maybe some decent contrast. Kind of speculating with those photos.

    The photos are cell phone photos taken quickly. I will try to get better pictures and post them later tonight.

    My apology. I was unaware you were the photographer.
    In that case, you owning it adds a possible few points to the overall grade, in my opinion.

    Blurry photos but from what I can see, that walker looks really nice! 🙂

    Almost has a stripped look to it. The spot on the obverse breastplate is concerning.

    Better pictures attached.

    The coin has fully frosted devices, including the sun, the rays and the rocky crag the eagle is perched on. It also has mirrored fields that are better quality than most other proof walkers I have seen.

    The last pics nailed it at its best. It’s not that close to cameo, but it looks pretty.

    Too white.
