    Mexico 1 Peso 1966, I wanted to know if in your opinions it is proof-like, it looks to me to be so?

    Well it depends, can you see anything in the coin, in other words, can the coin act like a mirror? If so, how many inches away can you see something clearly in the mirrors?

    From those pictures I'd say no. It is hard to tell unless in hand though.

    I think the fields look mildly reflective, however I am pretty sure based on the photos that they are not nearly reflective enough to warrant a PL designation.

    I didn't know that was a requirement of proof-like, I thought that it could be proof-like if the bust and eagle had a frosty cameo like appearance to them?

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    No, prooflike is based solely on the depth of the mirrors. Your coin does not look to have deep enough mirrors from those pics. The cameo effect is cool and looks awesome on PL coins, but is not required. My mexican peso is prooflike, and has strong cameo.

    From the images, I'd probably describe the coin as semi-prooflike. Not enough for a designation on a slab, but it appears to have some of the characteristics. The coin in hand may differ, of course.

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a market for prooflikes on this coin.

    You must have missed my recent purchase, containing a stunning, cameo'd NGC MS-64PL Mexican Peso. That's ok, you've talked me into posting it again ;)

    Nice coin, doesn't have much to do with his comment about a market for such coins though. A buyer here and a buyer there does not consitute a market.

    When a coin is said to have a market, it means the coin is popular enough that it may readily be sold at an established price range.

    If you had six of those coins, all graded the same. You might be able to sell 2, maybe even 3, for a premium. The rest would sell for the same as non PL examples.

    If there was a market for such coins, all would readily sell in the same range.
