Can anyone explain what a cameo lincoln cent would be and possibly show a picture as well?Thank you.

For making proof coins they prepare the dies so the fields are like mirrors and the details are frosted.

On some years only some proofs were cameos. On modern proofs almost every coin should be a cameo. Look at your modern proof set cents, they should be cameos.
