NG43 New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 10:12 pm Today I was searching through a 1964 1 cent roll and found 15 of them had a proof like look to them, mainly on the portrait. Is it uncommon to find that many in a roll? Also, all 15 of them had some small die damage near the top of the reverse, and I thought that was interesting because a previous roll from that year that I've opened had 11 that had the exact same die damage at the top as the proof like ones, but these just looked like normal cents. I thought that was kind of cool and worth a share. Edited by NG43 04/30/2015 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quatchi Valued Member Canada 228 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 12:25 am I've often wondered what they used to do with "PL" coins that didn't make the cut to be issued in sets but would surely be OK for circulation. Did the melt them down or did they just send them out as circulation coins? What would one call such a coin? PL-C perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 05:23 am Proof coins are made differently then business strike coins. Different dies and planchets and amount of strikes as well as handling after strike.The first few struck for business strike coins can look proof-like. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

I think the convention is to still apply the numerical system, so you end up with e.g., PL-50, PL-40, etc. Or perhaps you could call them "impaired-PL". This is assuming you could still see the difference from a regular circulation coin - certain dates were only issued in sets. Quote: I've often wondered what they used to do with "PL" coins that didn't make the cut Or unsold cello-wrapped sets at the end of the year? It would be quite a job to cut up 10000 sets.
