I also think it's a PL. Attractive, but easily found in this condition in 1962 mint sets.

A business strike / mint state coin in that grade would bring big returns $$$ MS-64 = $80.00, MS-65 + $1,500.00 in trends

The coin looks PL to me but it might just be the way the pics are taken.
Regarding the CCCS soft package, for these heavier coins like Dollars, I would choose the hard pack.

If it came out of a plastic sealed set, it's "PL". The coins in these sets are largely referred to as "proof like" here in Canada, and differ from specimen, business strike (MS), and proof coins. The true proofs have only been produced since 1981.
These terms in practical use differ somewhat from American terminology, and even PCGS doesn't see eye-to-eye with Canadian grading on some things. As an example, 1967 coins, especially the dollar, are sometimes called "Proof-66" or "Proof-65" by PCGS, even though no true proofs were produced in Canada until 1981, as I mentioned.
PCGS will also call a coin "MS-67 PL" from time to time, which is acceptable in US terms, but can be a little confusing for some of us here in Canada.

LOL Quit holding back, and tell us how you REALLY feel about a certain TPG! As Bob Dylan once said...the times, well, you know the rest. I actually submitted my first order to the "other" TPG recently, and will probably continue doing so. My only complaint thus far has been that TPG "A" had a pretty quick turnaround, whereas TPG "B" is telling me up to a month wait :( As this is my trial run though, I'll just have to wait and see how accurate that estimate is. |

I have been reading this thread with interest in learning more about the coinage to the North so let me make sure I have it right- this coin came from a Mint Set where it is common for coins to be PL and high grade but the business strikes tend to be lower grade and almost never have PL qualities?
I will now paraphrase a situation with the US SMS sets from 1965-67- how do you determine an average, non-PL Mint Set coin from an exceptional business strike or does a potential overlap in appearance and quality not exist?

As a rule, the PL coins are produced with better dies and regulated pressure with minimal handling, Where as MS (circulating)coins will have rounder transitions to the rim. Note the perfect flatness (of the edge) of the coin presented at the start of the thread. Also the lettering will show the same flatness, the first (VERY FEW) circulating coins MAY show these as well, but after a few strikes, they are definetly rounded, not as sharp. Clear as mud? Hope it helps.
