Need help with old proof sets 55-64

I Need help with some old proof sets.

I have gained access to many unopened (hundered set) boxes of 55-64 proof sets at leased one box pre year.
Today I looked through one box 1960's and two boxes of 61's.
The mylar is driving me crazy trying to see cameos.
I can see if the coin is deep cameo no problem.
It's the cameo that I can not consistainly see.
Is there a trick to test for cameo?

Lucy or Frank should be good for information on finding Frankies.
Thanks
Glen

Cameos are alittle hard to see thru the cello but you can. Look for a frosty Frankie with white on the devices.... deep mirrors to me are hard to judge thru the cello but, look for coins that sorta fade out to a black and white color...

This really is no problem at all. I have a special light for this purpose. Just send them all to me.

So far I found one (no question) 1961 DCAM Frankie Lucy. Two dimes, one nickel and maybe three pennies. Oh and two quarters. I forget if they are 60 or 61's
I have not cut them out yet so no details.
About twenty set had those poor seals between the half and dime and /or quarter all with that ugly red tone and blue nickels.

I'm having touble finding a box Tom can I just ship them in a bag?

Quit messing with the ugly coins and get to the 1964 sets.

Oh yeah, and if you see any that look like this:

They're garbage. Send them to me and I'll dispose of them.

As to looking through the cello.
I started to look for reflection like you do to check DML or ML Morgans.
That seemed to work a little.
