<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4702418, member: 26302"]I agree completely. Its a learning curve. Once you realize its a PL or DMPL, you have to adjust your viewing of the photos. These coins, just like proofs themselves, will magnify greatly any faults. You simply cannot judge them like you do business strikes. Theoretically a coin should be graded based upon condition. However, many dings are hidden in matte business strike photograph, where they are highlighted with PL coins. Therefore, your eye will automatically downgrade a PL coin if you have been looking at non-PL for a while. In hand this makes more sense, along with looking at tons of both types of coins for years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dang, I am starting to sound like a US collector.
