An Original 1942 Proof Set 0

…a different 42 proof for Vkurt’s benefit, that prob costs more than a ‘42 proof set does anyway…

I went ahead and took the plunge at got the set graded - it was the best choice to preserve the coins themselves and their value, both monetary and historical. Here are the results, and I would post images but they're a pain to do here. You can visit my thread over at Collectors Universe if you wish to see them again. This is now, to my knowledge, the finest original set from the 1936-1942 era. 

Half - PCGS PR68

Quarter - PCGS PR67+

Dime - PCGS PR67+

Nickel - PCGS PR67

Cent - PCGS PR66RD

Excellent result. Trust your instincts and accept your talent. You are successful where many are not. Congratulations!
