It's a fair question, and I'll defer to those who are more knowledgeable in Canadian coins. I expect a PL will be... well... more prooflike,...
I like the circs more than the MS pieces sometimes, for "character". I feel this way about Bust halves. I haven't met a Bust half I didn't like...
I can only suppose that since the 1880-S and 1881-S coins typically come so nice, they might judge those dates more strictly (while if it was a...
Thought about it- maybe trying a cross to PCGS, and adding TrueView imaging- but I dunno. (I certainly wouldn't specify RB, but I'd not want to...

I'm not so much a fan of encrustation unless it's evenly distributed and doesn't look like cancerous growths. That being said, the two you posted...
Leaves more out there for me, then. ;)
Now y’all don’t wanna get ME started on cat pictures. We have more than a dozen. :cat: *sigh* Well OK, maybe just one. Here’s ol’ blue-eyed...
