I picked up this 1963 Quarter ANACS MS64 PL Breen 4406 this weekend at the local coin show. Anybody ever see a PL slabbed Type B reverse quarter before? TIA Harvey   |

You have a great eye for those things. Still hard for me to ID them. E.

I very seldom see the PL or SL,SPL etc.
designation much anymore on cert. coins.
I know it used to be big on the morgans.
Nice to see it again though.
After all these years I did not even know the Breen #
on the Rev. B's. Is there an FS #, Coneca, Wexler etc.
on these ? And also Harvey, what would the 64-D type "C"
number be ?

Hey Indian,
I also have an 1828 Capped Bust Half in an old small ANACS holder graded AU58PL. Beautiful Coin!!
Regards,
Harvey

I've never seen a pl designation on one of these old anacs slabs nor have I seen one for a type b quarter. Nice find.

I see PL designations on NGC slabs and am thinking of doing a NGC PL set

It's really, really tough getting the PL designation- I've had over 2 dozen coins that I thought were unquestionably PL specimens (literally able to read newspaper print from several inches away in the coin's reflection), but have bever been granted the designation on a coin. I've gotten star grades * and + grades from PCGS on them, but never a "PL", not sure how to crack that nut.
Great coin though, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Harvey for the info. Also good catch on those 2 64-D's C's on ebay. Also reminded me to look for (and find:) my paper guide that I have for determining the PL's etc. I used to use it on morgans. Also has the exact instructions for use. Type and wattage of overhead light used, distance of light from the paper as well as the distance guide for reading of the print. If I remember correctly it was gauged for SL,SPL,PL,DPL and DMPL |
