    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.

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

    Yes, this comment sounds odd, but if you collect the 1936 to 1942 Proof coins, you come to appreciate the original coins which have not been dipped. It can be an acquired taste, and it’s not like “monster toning,” but the originality can be desirable. I’ll post photos later.
