The best out of 3 rolls of uncirculated pieces, what do you guys think as to grade? Can this hit a 67? Thanks for your comments!   |

Hi, this is not a PL coin. It's out of mint original UNC rolls!

Can you post more photos with different lighting?
It's pretty dark to see if there are any bag marks, etc,

I agree, pics with more light on the surfaces would really help.

Here's another picture, the reason I'm posting it is the complete absence of any marks! I'll try to get another set of pictures, but let me know what you think.  |

Old brown paper rolls, had a logo, didn't pay attention, had an hour to look through a few thousand rolled coins quickly before they went to the melting pot. All coins in a roll were the same date, rolls were from 1962,3,4. Here's the corresponding reverse image.  Edited by Loruca

The complete absence of any marks from other coins indicates it could be a PL, removed from a chelo set and rolled. Once removed from these chelo plastics or PL set its hard to know the difference.
PL66/67 for me....
Although I am far from a professional grader, I am learning here just like you and many others.

Beautiful example whatever it is! 67 would not surprise me.

I would have shot the people that melted them within that hour you were there. I wish I had that chance....

Looks PL to me and not an MS.

I own a number of PL sets, and not to disagree with members of the forum who have tons of experience in this sector (That's why I'm posting!) PL coins have polished fields and satin reliefs (bust finish). This coin does not have that differentiation, both the fields and bust have a smooth finish. Here's an image of the coin in a 2*2. (horrible image to grade from, thanks to the plastic and dust etc... but good image to see the absence of contrast in finishes.) I can't find a PL set without some trace of cameo.  |

TPG's would grade that as a PL, I could see a 66 out of this as in original photo's it looks like it has a few hairlines. One by the R in Regina, one below the bust of the queen and one under the II. If that is dust then this could see a 67 I think.

Is it possible that the mint mixed a few PL coins in rolls back then. I had a similar experience with a machine rolled roll of 1955 nickels I picked one out to send for grading that I thought was a 1955 MS-65 coin but come back PL 65 instead of what I had thought.
