They do not designate Prooflike on any coins except Morgans (with a couple of minor exceptions). NGC designates all deserving coins as PL - if you cross, you will loose the PL and be left with a generic 65. Besides, the value doesn&#039;t really justify the risk. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. The reason it looks like a piece of chrome is because it is... sorta. Modern PL&#039;s (after the mid-1980&#039;s) are almost exclusively from brand new dies. In the late 1980&#039;s, the mint started treating their dies differently: brand new dies were chrome plated to prolong their life. Obviously, this chrome plating imparted a bright, shiny, PL finish to the coins as you see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
