<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8346073, member: 101855&quot;]I would go with your wife when she goes to buy the piece. Not all certified Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollars are created equal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some pieces that have high grades and even CAC stickers are dull because they have large amount of haze on them from the celluloid sleeves the mint used to house them when they were sold Many collectors kept those coins in those holders back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>A little haze with the Proof mirrors shining though is okay, but if it&#039;s really heavy it&#039;s a pass for me. I don&#039;t mind if a piece has been dipped if it came out looking nice. From what I have seen, neither does CAC</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1938 Proof half is graded PR-64, CAC. It has no hairlines, but is slightly dull, which accounts for the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1480359[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1941 Proof is a PCGS PR-66, CAC. It was dipped, but it came out nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1480361[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1942 is NGC graded PR-67. In my opinion this about as nice as it gets. My pictures don&#039;t do it justice.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1480362[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been working on the 1936 to &#039;42 Proof sets for past couple of years. I have all of the nickels and half dollars, but I&#039;m still lacking some cents, dimes and quarters. Some of these coins are a marginal given the slabbing fees, which makes them harder to find certified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
