Just picked this up in a group of BU Franklins for $10/each - I believe it's the FS-401 (correct me if I'm wrong) - and I have a couple more cool pieces in this lot I'm imaging now (including a couple 1959 DDR) 1953 D Bugs Bunny Franklin Half FS-401 A couple different angles of "other" Ben's face (someone get him a handkerchief or something)
I was bored and put in a bid for this 1964 proof set with an accented hair Kennedy. Took it for $40. Figured I might try to sell it, but after seeing the coins, it’s staying right here for now.
I don’t think it would get the Pl designation. I’ve seen several that looked really close without the designation.
Honestly, it does look PL to me, but there's one way of finding out for sure........ @physics-fan3.14 Regardless, it's a gorgeous blazing example CBD! What's going on on the reverse?
It's impossible to tell if it is PL from just those pictures. I see evidence on the obverse that it is mirrored, but I'm not seeing deep enough mirrors on the reverse. That is with these pics. If CBD took more pics, he might convince me. There are 3 graded PLs at NGC, so these are out there. The highest graded is a 65PL, which happens to reside in my collection. Here it is for comparison. As you can see, the mirrors aren't terribly deep, but they are deep enough for PL:
