PL examples are extremely common/the norm for that issue, whether PCGS uses the designation or not. I see no reason to try to try to cross them...
You can also check for current and completed listings of the same items on Ebay.
I thought I would resurrect this thread a year and a half later, in the hopes that it might be of some benefit to other forum members.
Sight-unseen, my best guess is that your coin is exhibiting mint-made die polish lines, which should not affect the grade. But, do you really...
Mark, when I submit coins to CAC for clients I don't charge any fees above the CAC fee charged to me (and reimbursement for my postage). Also, I...

I see how that could also be bad for collectors who are trying to sell coins that were submitted to CAC but didn't sticker. What's potentially...
On a relative basis, it could also be dangerous to base your buy prices on "Redbook" values. Such prices might be inaccurate at the very time they...
I have no interest in such coins. But, I can understand that to some people, it might be worth the extra $6 not to have to get out and drive to...
