dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 1:38 pm It probably missed the PL designation because of the die polish lines on the reverse. All fields must reflect to be PL or DMPL. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 1:40 pm The obverse looks PL in the video, but the reverse is pretty borderline. That's likely why they didn't designate it PL. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 2:17 pm sure looks PL. when you check for PL do not move the coin around. place the coin on its bottom edge. use newspaper or a magazine that has wording on it and if you can place a ruler straight out from the coin it would help determine depth. the further out you can read the deeper the mirror here is NGC's test for proof likes * Semi-Prooflike (SPL) - 1 to 2 inches, devices must be frosted * Prooflike (PL) - 2 to 4 inches of reflectivity * Deep Mirror Prooflike (DMPL) - More than 4 inches * Ultra Prooflike (UPL) - At least 8 inches Report this Post to the Staff
Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 5:39 pm Thanks guys, yeah that's what I kind of thought to myself that possibly those polishing lines are what killed the PL desig.... Let's just say it was actually good enough to step up to PL, would it be PL65 as well? Or do they assign another numerical #? Price jump between the 2 would be worth it to me. I'm gonna do some more PL tests and see what happens. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 11/29/2019 6:48 pm Well I busted it out of the NGC plastic and now she resides in another TPG Slab! I gotta say I believe this is the exact grade It should be. I think ANACS nailed it! Not sure why NGC didn't want to give the PL des and instead gave it ms65? Sure it would be nice to have it 65PL but I think that's too much to ask. It's the exact grade it should be now! Edited by Jayyk31 11/29/2019 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
