Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 11:32 am I would very much appreciate your opinions on this '77-D Eisenhower dollar, and whether or not it would have a chance at getting a PL designation from NGC. This coin is blindingly reflective like an actual proof Ike, though there is no cameo contrast. It has a liquid metal appearance like nickels from the special mint sets of '65-'67. I have taken multiple shots at different angles for thorough review. Thanks. The green color in these images are from my computer screen. The "mirror" shots: Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 5:07 pm Seriously, I have never seen an Ike that reflective. It deserves some sort of designation, in my opinion, and Proof-like is probably it.

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 5:13 pm Assuming no one messed with the surfaces, and the photos are not juiced, it looks like it is worth submittal. I would think NGC would give PL designations to this series, but not sure about PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 5:15 pm I am not sure PCGS recognizes the possibility on Ikes. Do they? Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

No, PCGS will not give the PL designation to any Ike dollar. NGC does, and I think ANACS will. Edited by Darth Morgan 02/01/2019 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 10:44 pm I missed posting this picture originally, but this shot really captures the "fresh texture" appearance. There is a 1976-D T1 NGC MS64 PL on ebay right now, and I'm adding the pictures here to refer back to for future reference. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1776-1976-...cectupt=true And here's a different one I saved pictures of a while back, and they were both in the same submission.

daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 11:40 pm Its a nice coin for sure. I sent this 1978-d into PCGS hoping for a PL but did not get it. At the time I did not know PCGS actually did not name them PL. It did get a MS65 grade though. Its probably the most polished looking IKE I have seen https://www.PCGS.com/cert/83220979 Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 10:19 am daviscfad- wowzers! That looks like a "black beauty" Ike. You can immediately tell from the TrueView that it has a PL appearance. Can you show us pictures of the slab? Just curious how it looks at different angles. OK, guys. So.... I will be sending this to NGC for grading along with a 1971-D T1 Reverse FEV that I believe was struck on a proof planchet. Last night I joined the ANA, so I have direct submission privileges to NGC. I want to gather 10 coins, so I need 8 more. I'll be cherry picking my own inventory to see what I can include. I may ask your opinions on different coins. Stay tuned....
