<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3218428, member: 13307&quot;]So, I&#039;d like to ask a question in this thread (not intending any snark or sarcasm, really would like to know) - when it comes to coins like the South African Prooflike issues of the 1940&#039;s - 1960&#039;s (in Krause there are Business Strikes, Prooflike, and Proof strikes) - how do you all classify them?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Were the PL issues a special strike?&nbsp; Just early strikes of the Business Strike dies?&nbsp; If so, how do they have mintage figures in the reference guide?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also asked a similar question over at the Coins &amp; Canada site regarding Canadian Prooflike issues (pre-1960) - how does one tell the difference between a really nice business strike coin and a PL issue coin if it&#039;s not in the original set (and maybe the luster is a bit impaired due to age, PVC contamination, etc.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Very curious if someone knows the answer to this.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Note: I asked NGC this question once over at the Ask NGC board, because when you get a raw coin without the original gov&#039;t packaging, how do you tell?&nbsp; They just ignored my question.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
