After 1973 Cameo, or even deep cameo is what is normal.  Pieces without cameo are unusual.  The 73 is usually cameo and the most likely post 1972 year to have non-cameo coins. They changed their processes that year to actually try and have cameo coins.  1972 and eralier it was more of a hit or miss thing, the result of new dies and the cameo didn't last long once the dies went into use.

Those are "PPP" -- "Properly Pickled Proofs" (before degrading in 2010 to snake skin laser).
