[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 6626881, member: 73995"]From what I have read, after 1949 PL coins have polished field and polished devices. This is a MS64 PL red. Mine [ATTACH=full]1267527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1267528[/ATTACH] Proof coins are usually a matte finish and can be cameo Specimen strikes have reflective polished fields and frosty cameo devices. After 64 the Specimen strikes are made from specially prepared planchets. These coins are usually struck twice and are free from contact marks if in original packaging.
