Post Your Prooflikes (Semi-Official) Thread

My next example is a very fresh set of dies that yielded mirrored surfaces that rival modern day proof strikes. It happens to be my favorite reverse die because it was already failing due to being improperly hardened. All you hard core Morganites know it...

Those are some sweet examples!!
Heres my old fatty 64PL-

 

@Dave Waterstraat
I WILL cherry one of those one day!!
She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine....

 

The regency slab, probably doesnt add a premium to this Morgan lovers dream coin

 

I some how missed this thread when it was first posted. Been a bit busy driving Uber and Lyft lately.

I've only had a couple that were officially graded as PL, the rest are still raw.

Here's a companion to @Dave Waterstraat's 1883-O he posted. This one has a really good shot at DMPL.





And a nice looking Kennedy that could easily be confused with a proof.

 

Here's an 1878-S without graffiti....

 

Not US, though I do have some PL Morgans. I've been working on a side set of prooflike Austro-Hungarian coins of Franz Joseph for a few years. I love these. Here is my collection so far:

Austria 1870 AR 20 Kreuzer
KM-2212 (1868-1872)
PCGS MS64 PL
This one is a real stunner in hand with deep cameo. About the size of a 20 cent piece.


Hungary 1876KB AR Forint
KM-453 (1870-1879)
NGC MS61 PL
The forints are the silver dollar equivalent for Hungary in this period, so they are typically found baggy and they start to get pretty scarce around MS63. This isn't the most attractive example, however, it is the only classic forint (1868-1892) that received a PL designation at either NGC or PCGS.


Hungary 1888KB AR 10 Krajczár
KM-451 (1870-1888)
NGC MS64 PL
This coin was used by NGC to represent the KM-451 type in their price guide. It's about the size of a dime.


Hungary 1908KB AU 10 Korona
KM-485 (1892-1915)
NGC MS62 PL
In my experience it's very difficult to get NGC to give the PL designation to world gold. I was very pleased to pick up this example with excellent cameo in hand. It's about the size of a quarter eagle.


Austria 1912 AR Corona
KM-2820 (1912-1916)
PCGS MS65 PL
Equivalent to a quarter dollar.


Austria 1912 AR Corona
KM-2820 (1912-1916)
NGC MS64 PL
This is one of a pair of the first PL coins I got the designation on from NGC. The same date as the PCGS MS65 PL example above. Equivalent to a quarter dollar.


Austria 1913 AR Corona
KM-2820 (1912-1916)
PCGS MS64 PL
Equivalent to a quarter dollar.


Hungary 1915KB AR Korona
KM-492 (1912-1916)
NGC MS63 PL
I also have an NGC MS64 PL of this date that is a nicer example, but I don't have any good photos on hand to share. Equivalent to a quarter dollar.

 

It shows you how young the United States is when a Morgan Dollar fits in a Modern Type set...

 

Wow!

 

Nah yer tawkin ma langweege. I caynt unterstayn these daggum yankees and furrners hafe the tyme. Course i never did congraduate from hah skewl. I reckon i be needin some murr edumacatin

Keep 'murica grayt 2020

 

None of my PL Morgans are slabbed. But I have these
