<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2334917, member: 19165&quot;]Great guesses, everyone! Most people were right around the assigned grade, more or less.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC called this one 65 PL, and I paid $130 for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is the only graded PL for 1963D, and it is the only Denver minted prooflike Silver Roosie. Prooflikes of the mid 60s are really hard to find, so I pick them up whenever I can. The S-mint PLs of the 40s and 50s have a definite character, and the PLs of 68-72 have a completely different character - but any PL I&#039;ve seen from 63-64 is intriguingly different.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin has an interesting appearance. The obverse has strong die polish, which you can see in the fields in my images. This is characteristic of the earlier S-mint PL&#039;s that are fairly common. However, as Roger pointed out, the lines you see on the reverse are from metal fatigue (or, die wear). There doesn&#039;t appear to be strong evidence of die polish on the reverse - but the fields are just as reflectively prooflike as the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no evidence in hand of hub doubling, obverse or reverse. There is *very* minor machine doubling on parts, especially the motto. Most likely, any doubling you see is an artifact of the lighting. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I thought it was interesting and figured I&#039;d share.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And, I&#039;ll let you off eating this one.
