<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3215798, member: 112&quot;]This is what it says on the NGC website - </p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><i>DPL Deep Prooflike. </i></p><p><i>Applies only to circulation issues. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices are heavily frosted on both sides.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>PL Prooflike. </i></p><p><i>Applies only to circulation issues. The fields are mirrored and the devices may be frosted on both sides.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>However, that is somewhat contradicted on another page of their website -</p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6633/learn-grading-deep-prooflike/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6633/learn-grading-deep-prooflike/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6633/learn-grading-deep-prooflike/</a></p><p>- where they say this.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>NGC uses the PL or DPL modifiers after an MS coin’s numeric grade, when applicable. These designations indicate only the degree of reflectivity evident in a coin’s fields <u>and make no implication as to other qualities associated with Proof coins, such as frosted devices</u> and superior sharpness.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>The underlining is mine, made to point out the contradiction regarding frosted devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you search and read their forum you could find where they state that both US and world coins are given the special designations when they are worthy of receiving them. However, in other places they also state that if and when a coin is intentionally made to have the PL DPL qualities that those coins are not eligible for the designations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
