<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 7375218, member: 69760&quot;]It might be kind of hard to tell through the packaging but I&#039;m wondering if these are PL strikes. Through a loupe, in-person, and from the pics, the surfaces of the fields are optically smooth with no flow lines or cartwheel luster. I can also tell that the fields are mirrored like a proof coin, despite the plastic cover from the 2010 Mint Set (Korean language version, not the &quot;foreign&quot; version) amplifying the mirroring effect. My guess it that it&#039;s one of the relatively earlier strikes at the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of grading, TPGs like PCGS might allow it based on an objective standard of mirroring on a business strike coin (they made this <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-announcement-about-prooflike" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-announcement-about-prooflike" rel="nofollow">decision/announcement back in 2019</a>... I show a 2019-D Lincoln Cent coin I found on the &#039;net at the bottom as an example - it has a lot of flow lines but it meets the objective mirroring standards for a BU strike). But I want to send it off to NGC, and I&#039;m unsure if they&#039;ll allow that designation based on whatever standard they&#039;re using. I also don&#039;t see a PL strike in the population report for the 2010 year. I see some denominations have one example in a previous year like 2005/2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/MPpiVIk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZURIsRc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/tmbh6kg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ryBV0IG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Lc2MveC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/5OYfZQ5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/azUAAOSwr05duhF5/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
