<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2218462, member: 19165&quot;]Comparing a PL coin to a proof is an excercise in futility. The two are produced in very different ways, and the mirrors will appear very differently. Instead, compare your coin to PCGS and NGC graded PL coins of the same date (you can easily look at the archive pictures on Heritage, for example). Based on your pictures (which aren&#039;t great, but don&#039;t feel bad - taking good pictures of PL coins is exceedingly difficult), your coin does not appear to be PL. </p><p><br /></p><p>In reference to some of the other posts in this thread, both sides of a coin absolutely must meet the standard to be called PL. One side usually will be stronger than the other, but even the weak side must have sufficient reflectivity to earn the PL designation. Otherwise, the coin will likely be given a Star at NGC (there are many such coins - a strong PL obverse and a normal reverse, for example).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
