Sharpness of the detail in the design and lettering would be critical with this sort of finish.
One of the aspects that I DO NOT like with proof coins, is the loss of sharp detail in the design, as a result of laser etching of the working proof die, to present a frosted design.
For that reason I much prefer 'DMPL' Morgans, where the first few coins off a fresh die look at their best. Provided that is, the hubbed working die is one of the first off the master die. That is why DMPL Morgans in MS64 or better are so rare and valuable.

From the pictures of the Enhanced NA dollar, it is enhanced more like the 2013 ASE than the 2014 Kennedy. On the obverse, the background is a satin finish, and her shawl has different textures. |

WOW Stev18~!! I had no idea! No, I have the Kennedy set. I may but the ASE set so I will have all three of the EU coins. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a coin like when they redesigned the Jefferson nickel as I dropped out of collecting for some time. Thanks for everyone's responses / links / education / info! |

So now we get a 'last strike' designation? Just before they pull a die pair from use, the last few coins have then enhanced surface worn down to normal or even PL... quick: new label!!

Maybe they can just cast coins and then a simple lable can be made for the few coins that they actually strike. Then they can just abbreviate it to " strike"

So we have 3 MS-70 designations...... DMPL MS-70, PL MS-70 and MS-70 Ranging in price from 79.00 to 2000.00 Wow. I will just be happy with my plain MS-70 for $79 with free shipping.

Instead, those JFK's look to me like a hazed 1970's Proof coin just freed from its OGP.. Ouch! |

Couldn't disagree more on the JFK enhanced... I think its the nicest coin in the set! The reverse proof just looks weird somehow, the regular proof and uncirculated look as expected... the enhanced has an almost ethereal look that is way cool.

I think there is a lot of variety in how the Enhanced coins turned out depending on where in the run the coin was minted. Mine just look like a milky halo around Kennedy with lots of hairline scratches in the fields. Quite honestly mine look like a proof coin that was rubbed with baking soda.

Definitely no halo on mine. Clean, slightly matte surface with more heavily frosted or mirrored devices.
