    I'll blindly guess that he grades MS63, but I could give a legitimate attempt with better pictures.

    Hey green18, since you are Mr commem and designed a couple of them(lol) Do the S mint Booker Ts come PL like this very often? Is it an S mint only type deal or do they exist with mirrors from the other 2 mints as well??
    Or is this sorta a rare coin and I should charge a small premium for this at the Flea?

    Edit: Actually i would love to hear anybodies take on this matter especially if you are the Grand-daddy of them all, like Mr Green18

    I've seen a few PL Booker Ts, but this doesn't look proof like to me. I'll guess MS-64.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    FWIW, I would have guessed 64+. The apparent haziness and the spot on the obverse would bring it down a bit for me.

    As for the prooflike question - yes, PL Bookers are fairly common for all dates. The S mint coins are the most common (and actually, the 50S has the second highest number designated, behind the 47S). Your coin has PL tendencies, and would probably be best described as semi-prooflike. The mirrors are not nearly strong enough to qualify for the PL designation (which only NGC will give - PCGS will not designate PL on anything except Morgans and a couple of modern series).
