SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 12/09/2016 4:55 pm I bought this raw PL dollar, what do you think for grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 12/09/2016 5:24 pm PL 64. These are the most poorly finished of all the 1950s era Prooflike Dollars. The issue of 1956 was far superior with some coins even reaching levels of PL68. The 1957 coins are generally somewhat washed out in appearance with very poorly finished planchets that result in the somewhat pebbly and pocked mark appearance on the Queens shoulder and hair area. Also the centre of the Canoe is often poorly struck at the centres. Brilliance is often a problem as well as there are several very dull appearing coins in the issue. A 1957 in Cameo PL66 is scarce and a 66 Heavy Cameo is virtually unknown. Being picky with this issue is the best advice in finding a really nice example. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 06:01 am Excellent information, thanks Pacificoin. I noticed the pock marked date and faint HB on the bundle in canoe as well as obverse pebbly finish on QEII. Weak strike for sure. Report this Post to the Staff

tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 12/11/2016 01:42 am What Pacific Coin sez....1957 is extremely hard to find in high PL and cameos......My PL66 Cameo was very expensive, relative to what that grade would cost in 1954 or 1956. FWIW, I also have a 1957 NGC PL67 that turned into a ICCS PL65, no cameo. The lack of finish on QEII shoulder will kill this coin's grade, and put it in PL63 range. Report this Post to the Staff
