What does the PL mean when it is in front of the grade number? I could only find NGC info on PL and DPL as designations after the grade. Are these business strikes or some kind of mint special proof? Example: http://cgi.ebay.com/1960-NGC-PL66CAMEO-CANADA-SILVER-50-CENTS-/300585964233?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fc51d2c9
Prooflike. Did you read the whole ad? It's in the description of the coin! Please don't rely on others to do your work.
I believe sellers on eBay should research their coins before listing them for auction so they're able to title and describe their coin(s) correctly. -Brian
Rickmp, I think you misunderstood my question. Sorry if I worded it poorly. I assumed the PL stood for proof-like, but I'm used to seeing MS or Proof (and sometimes special proof) designations BEFORE the numerical grade on US coins. I'm used to seeing PL come AFTER the numerical grade. These two examples better illustrate my question. 1967 Canadian Quarter - PCGS PR64: http://cgi.ebay.com/1967-Canadian-Quarter-PCGS-PR-64-/140587078825?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20bba494a9 1964 Canadian Quarter - PCGS PL65: http://cgi.ebay.com/1964-Canada-Silver-Twenty-Five-Cent-PCGS-PL65-/220819024223?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3369d6e95f What (in the production process) makes one a PR and the other a PL? At first I thought it might be a weird NGC vs PCGS thing, but these are both PCGS. Hope that clarifies the question.
Here is an explanation from Canada about Canadian prooflike coins: http://www.edmontoncoinclub.com/cameo.htm
Cameo is a term to describe Proof and Prooflike coins that have frosted devices and dark fields. Camaro is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet.
Hobo: Doh! That's embarrassing. I do like both Cameos and Cameros, though. Collector1966: Thank you!!!!!!
