CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 10:43 am @SuperDave - is that the standard for all denominations? I have a Mercury dime I would describe as "proof-like" (and it has an NGC star designation) but reflections can't be seen at that distance because the concavity of the fields causes too much distortion. I have seen PL designated dimes, but I can't imagine they'd ever have flat enough fields to meet those standards, even if they had a perfect mirror finish. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 10:47 am I really like your New Orleans Branch Mint PL! Your Philly is nice as well. I would send them in to ANACS for certification. If they had an issue, ANACS would still slab em, and ID the issue. I have an 1888 MS63 PL Morgan for my 7070, and it definitely draws attention with the reflective fields, having a different designation, along with my FS Jefferson, FB Mercury, MS64 star Walker, MS64 Red Indian cent, FH Standing Liberty, etc...

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6388 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 12:52 pm Very attractive coins, if the other dollars you purchased are their equal you'll have an impressive set. Your photographs are excellent! These coins need to be kept in individual holders to preserve the PL (or DMPL) surfaces. If you put them together in a roll you will add nicks and scratches which will reduce their grade and hurt the potential value. Report this Post to the Staff

Do you think it would help if I separate each coin with a piece of tissue or something?

I cannot answer with certainty, but I'd suspect you're correct in that standards would tend to relate to the coin itself. Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, but that kinda defeats the purpose of trying to amass 20 of them, doncha know...

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 1:14 pm If you are intent on rolling them, put them in air tites and roll the air tites. Do not let them come in contact with each other.... Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5855 Posts	Posted 10/27/2011 1:20 pm I've got a bunch of Lighthouse capsules available, but I don't think they make rolls wide enough to carry them. Ah well, guess I'll just have to abandon my goal of having a roll of 20. Of course, that does mean that I am now free to keep buying more of them, right?
