I see sometimes pcgs-slabbed coins with the grade PF on coins that to my knowledge was not produced as proofs.
This is coins from late 1800s. So my question is why do they call them PF and not PL on some occations.
found this distinction
Proof: A frosted relief over a brilliant field. Reverse proof: Brilliant, reflective or mirror-like details on a frosted or slightly matte field. Specimen: A brilliant image relief against a matte or lined background.

Thank you Marve but I'm still confused since there are coins labeled as proof when no proof was struck according to sources

Thanks for effort thou, was more a general question about the proof when used by tpgs, not the specific example. I find it somewhat confusing.

The TPGs are usually pretty knowledgeable about when proof coins were actually made for US coins, so don't make this mistake there. For non-US coins, they are less knowledgeable, and can make mistakes. I know that the TPGs have in the past graded some Australian predecimal coins as "Proof" when no such proof coins actually exist, for example. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thank you, yes I have also seen pcgs labeled them as proofs: So maybe it when they re in a good mood and think they deserve a proof label   Edited by Moniker
