Montgomery Valued Member Canada 423 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 10:22 pm I went to my LCS today and bought a 50 cents 1974. The holder was saying proof but nothing about the heavy cameo found on it. In 1974. how can I determine if it is a proof or PL strike? Thanks P.S. Sorry, my camera is still not fix... Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9732 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 10:38 pm It's easy. No 50cent proofs were struck 'til 1981. Your coin is PL. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9732 Posts	Posted 12/31/2015 12:18 am Possibly a specimen,but you would think the holder would say that rather than proof, it so easy and time and ink saving to just drop a word. We're gonna need pics to resolve this. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
