[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 3018726, member: 42034"]Occasionally I've thought about buying an old proof set. A friend of mine years ago got a run of these from his dad (1936-1942) who bought from the Gov't when issued. While a kid and he traded the extras away to an old guy for some 2c pieces. Anyhow these classic proof sets are kinda dead these days and I'd like to get a set with a non-dog half dollar. I've seen some slabbed pf-67 1942's halves for sale on Heritage and they appear to be normal business strikes. No proof finish. Do I have to buy a PFCA to get a proof-like surface? Why are there only six PFCA's in the NGC pop report and only for 1942? I thought all proof walking halves would have a cameo proof finish?[/QUOTE]
